‘EARLY DANCEHALL PRODUCTIONS FROM BUNNY LEE’ – Pressure Sounds’ first foray into Mr. Lee’s transformative rub a dub work from the late seventies to mid-eighties. Bunny “Striker” Lee was always attuned to even the slightest change in the musical landscape of Kingston. He quickly picked up on this shift in taste and knew he had to compete or be left behind. By 1980, Striker had gathered a stable of young artists around his core veterans like Cornell Campbell and Johnny Clarke to build riddims and tunes to speak to this new “dancehall” vibe. With a deep knowledge of classic songwriting, an ability to effectively communicate with musicians and an infusion of new talent, Striker Lee’s new direction quickly hit gold. ‘Rubadub Revolution’ mines this often overlooked period with rarities like The Paragons’ obscure ‘A Place Called Zion’, classic tunes such as Don Carlos’ ‘Pass Me The Lazer Beam’ and extended 12″ mixes featuring DJ cuts by Papa Tullo, Purpleman, Simple Simon and others that showcase the excitement, experimentation and raw energy of this transformative period of Jamaican music. Includes extensive track notes by Diggory Kenrick and an extensive interview with Bunny Lee.
