LP – Black Vinyl (2025 Repress).
King Tubbys Hometown Hi-Fi was one of the great Sound System in Jamaica. It also proved a fantastic outlet for the Dub Plate Specials cut at Tubbys studio, providing exclusive cuts to be played out and to entice the dances audience. The tracks at the time were mainly cut over producer Bunny Striker Lee rhythms, that Bunny stored at Tubbys studio, 18 Drumilly Avenue, Kingston, Jamaica. The versions were given exclusive plays at Tubbys sound before some finding their way on to vinyl, ass the b-side version cut to its a-side vocal. It proved so popular that the records were often brought fir its version side over its vocal counterpart.
Jamaican Recordings have compiled a selection of cuts that were all tried and tested on Tubbys Home Town Hi-Fi Sound System and that worked a great set of Bunny Lees rhythms in fine style. Some of these cuts found a release as version b-sides but many on this set were exclusive Dub Plates unreleased until now. As Cornell Campbell says on track one of the set King Tubby and Bunny Lee will never go away.
