Niney The Observer

At King Tubbys

The 1973 hit Westbound Train was followed in 1974 by Cassandra, I am the Conqueror and the timeless No More Shall I rOam. Another important connection around this time was the great King Tubby who Niney would take his tapes along to and even record some of his tracks at Tubbys house, 18 Drummlie Avenue, Kingston, which doubles as his Studio of Dub. Its these tracks that we are concentrating on here. Tubby would strip the tracks back to the bone and rebuild then sometimes leaving off the hook line. Whether that be the horn line or keyboard line and adding effects over the top that could disguise the cut even more. Even Niney stating that when Tubby had finished with a cut, he found it hard to recognise the track himself. Its these tracks as dub plate specials that Tubby would play on his Hometown HI-FI Sound System and its these such tracks that we have compiled for this release. Dub Plated that have not seen the light of day since tragically the great Osborne Ruddock AKA King Tubby was gunned won and murdered on the 06th December 1989. For a few dollars and a gold chain, reggae music has lost one of its most creative, inventive forces.
