BACK IN PRINT! King Tubby’s Hometown Hi-Fi was one the great sound systems in Jamaica. It also proved a fantastic outlet for the Dub Plate Specials cut at Tubby’s studio, providing exclusive cuts to be played out and to intice the dance’s audience. The tracks at the time were mainly cut over producer Bunny ‘Striker’ Lee rhythms, that Bunny stored at Tubby’s studio which was in fact his home, 18 Drumilly Avenue, Kingston, Jamaica. The versions were given exclusive plays at Tubby’s sound before some finding their way on to vinyl, as the b-side version cut to it’s a-side vocal, proving so popular that the records were often brought for its version side over its vocal counterpart. Jamaican Recordings have compiled a selection of cuts that were all tried and tested on Tubby’s Home Town Hi Fi Sound System and worked a great set of Bunny Lee’s rhythms in fine style. All killer, no filler!
