Various Artists - Dubbing With the Observer (2023)

By early 1975, dub had become an integral part of the Jamaican music landscape with most 7-inch singles now sporting a hard and heavy mix of the vocal or instrumental track that featured on the A-side. Yet for all its popularity, relatively few long-players showcasing the genre had, until this time, seen issue.

‘Dubbing With The Observer’ was among the very first dub albums to become commercially successful on both sides of the Atlantic. Produced by Winston ‘Niney’ Holness and mixed by pioneering sound engineer and dub master, Osbourne Ruddock AKA King Tubby, the collection featured killer mixes of tracks previously popularized by Dennis Brown, Ken Boothe, Delroy Wilson and Sang Hugh.
