The Reggae Thread

[Reggaebass]

There’s a mixture of tracks here by various artists and some good big youth tunes , definitely worth a flick through

Over 5 and a half hours of King Tubby? That's today sorted, then.

Love a bit of king tubby ☝️, I’ve just been playing this

And with enough delay it’ll last well into the night too!

I'm reading 'Bass Culture: When Reggae was King' by Lloyd Bradley (it's excellent) and just got to the part in 1969 where King Tubby has set up his 'Tubby's Home Town Hi-Fi' system with U-Roy as deejay (how's that for a combination?!). Tubby also worked for Duke Reid as a disc cutter so had access to all the Treasure Isle tapes where he cut one-off specials specifically tailored for U-Roy and one night for the first time ever they played dub versions with U-Roy deejaying over them - the crowd went nuts and there were only  4x dubplates which got repeated all night with U-Roy deejaying over them - perhaps that crowd witnessed the birth of Dub and Dancehall? 

 

This was one of the originals (or as close as I can find on youtube) 

 

 

And the Tubby Dub with U-Roy (or what it became at some point)
