Niney The Observer - At King Tubby's: Dub Plate Specials 1973-1975 '2013

Tracks list

Reggae producer Niney the Observer was one of the key figures in Jamaican music
during the wildly fruitful period in the '70s that gave birth to many of
reggae's classic albums. Niney (nicknamed thusly after losing one of his
fingers) worked with everyone of note in his day, engineering sessions for Bunny
Lee and Lee 'Scratch' Perry as well as producing some intense dubs at King
Tubby's studio. Some of the best results of Niney's time at Tubby's studio are
represented here, with drastically alternate mixes to some of his best-known
hits.

From the start of the collection, signature sounds of Tubby's dubs infiltrate
the mixes. The studio's brand is all over Dub Plate Specials 1973-1975, from the
echo-saturated tape delay of Set Dub Free to the minimalist deconstruction of
the bass-heavy Tenement Dub.
