King Tubby's
Hometown Hi-Fi was one the great sound systems in Jamaica. It also
proved a fantastic outlet for the Dub Plate Specials cut at Tubby's
studio, providing exclusive cuts to be played out, enticing the dance's
audience. The tracks at the time were mainly cut over producer Bunny 'Striker' Lee
rhythms, that Bunny stored at Tubby's studio which was in fact his
home, 18 Drumilly Avenue in Kingston, Jamaica. The versions were given
exclusive plays at Tubby's before some finding their way on to vinyl, as
the B-side version cut to its A-side vocal, proving so popular, that
the records were often bought for its version side over its vocal
counterpart. King Tubby and Producer Bunny 'Striker' Lee are intertwined
in the birth of dub music. Tubby's vast knowledge of electronics and
Bunny's vast catalog of rhythms would lay the foundations of what today
is taken as a standard... the remix/version cuts to an existing vocal
tune. ..."Forced Exposure
