Amidst King Tubby's vast discography, Roots of Dub stands out as one of the legendary Jamaican engineer's finest works. Overseeing an impressive roster of guest players, the King weaves his magic yet again, lending his talent for masterful arrangements over 11 tracks. Released in 1974 and recorded at Tubby's famous 18 Drummly Ave. studio in Kingston during dub's early development period, the album reflects the genre's core elements: waves of sounds, manipulated with reverb, echoes and delays, that become cohesive, intensely detailed pieces, yet always with the relaxed Caribbean vibe intact. Refurbished with new digipak packaging, Get On Down is proud to present King Tubby's Roots of Dub as the next entry in their ongoing series of classic dub reissues. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
