King Tubby Kingston 1975 JaymAndrew 2017 ReFix

To Celebrate the King's Birthday I spent some more time working on this Classic....
King Tubby’s Home Town Hi Fi - Kingston, circa June 1975
Featuring: U.Roy
“There was an air of great excitement around 1998 when rumours that an actual recording of the legendary Home Town Hi Fi was to see the light of day, almost 25 years after the event. Long time sound tape collector Dave Brown was the man responsible for sharing this treasure with the reggae world.
Not surprisingly the recording quality was not the greatest, with the speed varying throughout the C60. However Jayman managed to rectify that situation and made the audio clear enough to enjoy the mighty sound of King Tubby’s as it was in 1975.
We will probably never know if the man himself was selecting the music, but whoever it was they had some heavy dubplates and serious tunes from the likes of Horace Andy, Cornell Campbell, Johnny Clarke. Bob Marley’s “So Jah Say” is also dropped, maybe even suggesting that the date is even earlier than 1975. Unmistakably it’s U.Roy holding the microphone, introducing the tracks and interjecting here and there, while the hit tunes of the day pound out of the Tubby’s speakers and rock the dancers feet.
This valuable recording is the reggae equivalent of an important dinosaur fossil find… and a major part of Jamaica’s musical history.”

The selector could have been I-Roy,he was the last known selector for Tubby's when the sound was awarded a medal by the Festival Commission in 1975.

[@cavemanruff7323]

It was Danny Dreadlocks

[@alexandorno5794]

​​@@cavemanruff7323Danny Dread was the selector when Daddy Roy was the DJ on Soul Attorney Sound not on Tubbys...
