dunno if this has already been done lol , a tribute to king tubby lovin this one Earl Zero’s Righteous Works (and Dub…)

Before developing into Jamaica’s most successful record producer of the 1980s, Lloyd James, aka Prince Jammy, was another of King Tubby’s apprentices. Here he looks back to the heyday of dub.

“ The great King Tubby’s – yunno, they don’t call people ‘great’ or ‘King’ for no reason – the reason they call ‘im great King Tubby’s was he was such a nice person. If ‘im ever get vex with you for five minutes, the nex’ minute he is okay. A lotta good ‘im do fe the community. Well, that’s like a never-endin’ friendship. It’s like family, yunno – I grew up with King Tubby’s. I used to live on Dromilly Avenue. His loss was of the greatest loss to me – I don’t know about the music fraternity, but to me personally, because he was my teacher, yunno. It was so unfortunate that he had to go that way – that was terrible.

In the Seventies at King Tubby’s studio, dub records used to sound fantastic to what we hearin’ nowadays as dub. The main reason for this is because King Tubby used to have a four track studio. We way how we used to create the dub, the feelin’ of the music, we only had four controls to deal with. It was easier to mix with your slides instead of buttons. Nowadays you mix with buttons, because you’re mixin’ on a 24-track console.

But music has to be a fast mixin’ thing – most of the instruments were already mixed on one track. So when you draw down like the riddim track, you draw down horns, guitar, piano an’ organ. So it was easier for you to mix it, and faster. That’s why you got the dub in those days so brilliant. It can be mixed on these modern consoles, but you have to group the instruments. And the slides are not flexible like the mixin’ board console that King Tubby’s had. Those slides were flexible.

Dub means raw riddim. Dub jus’ mean raw music, nuttin’ water-down. Version is like your creativeness off the riddim, without voice.
