      Such a flashback in what you are saying, everytime I would touch a record shop, people would say after their prized records, everyone would ask "Where did you get those records from"?, one would answer I got them from "Tubbys musical basket!!!

    I an a black man living in London England and I grew up with the music of Tubby as a child and have been studing his music ever since. Now at 63 when I play his music I still can't believe what I am listining to. For the last 20 years I have been producing music in the style of Tubby in many different genres. Many people around the world produce dub but they can't do it like Tubby but I actualy can. When I heard that he was murdered I could not forgive myself for not going to look for him when he was alive. As you know he made a few albums however it was the 45s that were the real meat and drink, I have the majority of his work. The collection has taken 50 years to get hold of. You have produced a great piece of work here.

    What a revolution he launched throughout music in general. As great as that of reggae itself, possibly.

    I used to go to the local record stores in the 90's and search for used reggae CD's. Much of the time I had no idea who they were, but if it looked like it might be roots I would take a chance. Most of the time the mystery bands were disappointing and would turn out to be dance hall etc and I would sell them back again. One time I bought a King Tubby's greatest hits and what a treasure! Still listening to it...

Kept me positive as i humbled my racist neighbors, laughing as i moved to my peaceful new home. 😅This video was an answer to my prayers, we all needed to hear this one especially at that right time.
    Meeting the rockers uptown 😅, that was always my favorite but i didn't know was everyone else's too lol. I had to entertain my friends yesterday for helping me move but im glad the 1st thing i did today was to thank and congratulate you for delivering crucial wisdom once again. You are forIver part of my prayers and nuff respect RAS 🙏 🤙. Selassie I live!
