Firehouse Revolution: King Tubby's

King Tubby is a (probably 'the') key player in the genre of dub. Most of his output occurred in the 1970's and if you type him into Amazon's search engine that's what you'll get. This album is different. It's a collection of his digital works, released on the fantastic Pressure Sounds label, but produced on Tubby's own Firehouse label between 1985 to 1989- when, sadly, he was shot dead.Anyone with knoweldge of Pressure Sounds releases will be familiar with their great design and infomative written works on the back cover, Harry Hawk does the honours here. This album has them both. The photos, design and words are simply magic.There are tracks from Anthony Red Rose, Little John, Johnny Osbourne, King Kong. The (in)famous Sleng Teng rythem gets worked over on "Under Me Fat Thing". The CD version has a couple of extra tracks over the vinyl version.What can I say, this album is brilliant. It's a good insight into early digital productions in Jamica, has fantastic tunes, excellent packaging. As the pressure sounds webiste suggests "this music could hardly be described as new it comes from a much more recent period than the usual sixties and seventies 'revival' compilations and is every bit as exciting innovative and important as anything that has come out of Jamaica."Indeed, buy it now!
