Dj Dubcuts - Dubbing With The Djs - Volume 1
The producer to capitalise most on the DJ explosion was Bunny Lee. As the saying goes If D.J. were your Trade. during the seventies you must have cut tracks with him.Using his vast catalogue of hits by such vocalists as John Holt, Delroy Wilson, Johnny Clarke, Cornell Campbell, as his back drop. Along with rhythms built at studios like Randys, Dynamic and Channel 1, he produced hit after hit. Striker as he was nicknamed ruled the D.J. form from 1970 - 1977 until the wind would blow the changes and reggae take another turn in its evolving history. Its from this great period that we have compiled this Killer set by all the leading names in the DJ Arena. U Roy who lead the way is represented by two of his finest cuts. His protege I Roy (Roy Reid), who would take over running King Tubbys Sound System, although initially inspired by U Roy would soon develop his own style. Like on Baby Girl Dub featured here. DJ vocal sparing is represented by Prince Jazzbo (B.Linval Carter,1950, Jamaica) whose mike attack against the for mentioned I Roy on Run & Go Hide the Dub is a fine example.Our opening cut is a killer Trial & Cross dub by Dillinger (B.Lester Bullocks,1953, Kingston, Jamaica), and Mr Dave Barker (B. David Collins,1952, Kingston, Jamaica) of the duo Ansell and Collins who had massive hits with the likes of Double Barrel and Monkey Spanner provides two of his biggest DJ cuts.
