Niney & the Observers - King Tubbys Wants The Channel Dubbing With The Observer 1976-1978 (CD) - CD

Details: Two CDs. Includes dub mixes of numerous roots classics. 28 tracks new to CD. Featuring essential mixes by the legendary King Tubby. Renowned for his innovative approach to music-making, Winston 'Niney' Holness was among the first of Jamaica's record producers to experiment with the sound of dub, frequently enlisting the services of the sub-genre's acknowledged master, King Tubby. It is unsurprising therefore that his dub mixes from the latter 1970s rate among the finest examples of style, especially given the quality of the recordings that provided their source. This collection gathers together 40 such mixes that first saw issue on 7" singles during what is now widely recognised as the golden age of the dub, with almost ¾ of the tracks being featured on CD for the first time. Masterfully remastered for the format, fans can at last acquire, enjoy and experience these essential dub mixes without spending years and a small fortune trying to obtain copies of the original Observer 7" singles.
