King Tubby - Sound System International Dub LP '1975; 2009

Tracks list

       ‘Sound System International' is a Clancy Eccles produced dub set
featuring ten thrilling King Tubby’s deconstructions of a selection of
Dynamites rhythms where Tubbs spins the tunes around and comes up with something
very, very special. as he takes these straight forward reggae songs, turns them
upside down and on to somewhere completely different.

The ten track vinyl album remains the same as the rare original release and
includes Tubby’s dubs to Lord Creator’s winsome ‘Kingston
Town’, The Dynamites’ beautiful ‘Red Moon’ and King
Stitt & Andy Capp’s ‘Herb Man’. The CD echoes the origins of
dub in Kingston’s sound systems and comes with five bonus tracks
including ‘Phantom’ Lynford ‘Andy Capp’
Anderson’s next cut to ‘Herb Man’ one of the earliest ever
dub mixes; two outings from ‘The Ugly One’ foundation deejay King
Stitt including his riposte to U Roy“You say you rule the nation with
version…” entitled ‘King Of Kings’ and the amazing
‘Dance Beat’ where Stitt and Clancy discuss the early days and
characters of the sound system scene and finishing up with The Dynamites’
stirring ‘Tribute To Drumbago’.

Originally released in a plain cover rubber stamped with only the title and
track listing ‘Sound System International’ now comes replete with
superb graphics, stunning contemporary photographs of King Tubby and extensive
sleeve notes detailing the origins of the dub and deejay phenomenon. The set has
also been totally re-mastered. We at Pressure Sounds were thrilled to be able to
negotiate the release of this awesome rarity where, for once, the hyperbole is
all for real.
