Ok - ready everyone?
Hit play for tonight’s dubwise playlist!

@thesociallondon

First up:

Mikey Dread “Saturday Night Style” - easing us in...

An early one now. From maybe the first dub album released “Aquarius Dub” from Herman Chin-Loy.

open.spotify.com/track/3nVS5B6p…

Now the seminal “No No No” - Gussie Clarke re-recorded the familiar Dawn Penn sung rhythm. Big Youth toasted his seminal “Screaming Target” over this...

Determination Skank - Tommy McCook
Wicked Glen Brown production. I love anything with Tommy Mcook

Here he looking the coolest with the great Vin a Gordon:

How we doing? More drinks anyone?
@thesociallondon

Black Forrest Rock - Errol Brown

Not THAT Errol Brown!!!

First introduced to this by @petepaphides on his @sohoradio show a couple of years back. Rare until released by Dub Store.

Here’s the first King Tubby mix of the evening....

Jackie Edwards “Invasion” - cover of the Burning Spear tune, mixed at 19 Dromilly Avenue. Just bends my head how Tubby managed to create those mixes from his Mum’s front room....

@thesociallondon

I’m really enjoying this!!! Thank you @thesociallondon for having me!

Now over to The Black Ark...

The Congos “Bring the Mackaback” - dub of. “Fisherman” from my favourite album “Heart of the Congos” just otherworldly!!!

open.spotify.com/track/400Rx6lb…

Whilst on The Congos - check this from @JahDuran - his Congos piece for @theQuietus

@thesociallondon

Wreck up a version - King Tubby - dub of Leroy Smart’s “Trying to wreck up my life”

Think it was mixed by Prince Phillip Smart - just wonderful

Here’s Phillip at the desk:

When the b-side was better than the a-side!!! The producers take over as the artists!!!

King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown

King Tubby - Stone

Dub of Prince Allah’s “Great Stone”

Blood and Fire were my great introduction to dub, this is just masterly. @domsotgiu operated the sound system for B&F - immense sound!!!

open.spotify.com/track/3E2wM03w…

King Tubby - Jamaican Roots Dub

A memorable occasion I heard this a a dance I was with my mate Gavin. It shook us both, sounds like an alternative Bond theme.

Gavin openly refers to himself as an idiot. More on him later.

@thesociallondon

open.spotify.com/track/7B5EotWB…

One of the first things Gavin said to me was:

“Did I ever tell you about the time I threw up in front of Dennis Brown?”

I knew then that we’d be life long friends...

King Tubby’s In Fine Style...

Again - not sure who mixed it, sure it was Tubby. Many dubs had his name on like a brand, a selling point and it may have been one of his apprentices on the mixing duties. Who cares? What a mix.

open.spotify.com/track/0e0pplXu…

Olive?

Back to Africa - Jimmy Radway (Errol Thompson mixed)

Only a handful released in 1975 - until @pressuresounds re-released in 2008.

Brass overload!!!

open.spotify.com/track/5JE9XrmY…

Prince Far I - The Right Way

From his CryTuff Chapter set. One of the first dub albums I heard when working in @BensRecords
He was asking me to price up records, I was just lost listening to the mix.

open.spotify.com/track/6PmaZsmE…

Rockers Almighty Dub

I hadn’t heard this in years, then it cropped up on @Birmingham_81 ‘s playlist he shared and I have him to thank for the inspiration to put it on this tonight. Horace Andy’s voice just floats in and out of the mix

open.spotify.com/track/20XxcYoQ…

I’m lucky to count @Al_Breadwinner as a friend - I love his mixes. They sound like they were recorded in the heyday of reggae. He records with the great Vin Gordon and has a new record out here:

Treasure Dub - Errol Thompson again and wonderful dub from a seminal album:

@thesociallondon

A Harder Version - King Tubby

Hi-pass filter-spring reverb madness!!!

#NowPlaying #dub #Reggae

open.spotify.com/track/3h4QXgcr…

Paul Blackman - Earth Wind and Fire

Augustus Pablo production

open.spotify.com/track/30gAlXX0…

I lady heard this “out” on Paul Axis’s sound. He builds his own cabinets and they are a thing of beauty:

*last

Second to last tune - @thesociallondon

King Tubby - Invasion

Dub to Horace Andy’s “Guiding Star”

How did he get those mixes to sound so modern?!!!

open.spotify.com/track/1mspjXe6…

Oh wow!!!

I’ll leave you with Scientist mixing Al Campbell for Dark Side
