That Pressure Sounds comp is ace! The Soundclash Dubplate Style ones are fantastic, too, and a great complement to the Firehouse Revolution one, with very little overlap. Brutally minimal, brilliant stuff - and Wackies gets all the credit. I wonder if there are any more releases of post-1985 Tubbys?john eden said:And then "King Tubby's Firehouse Revolution" on the way into work - some nice Tubby digital biz post sleng teng.
Thanks for the recommendations. I think only about 7 or 8 releases came out after Arleen Ruddock (Tubby's daughter) took over the studio after his death, of which the Phantom set might be one (the second volume of Soundclash Dubplate Style is another). I'd assume that quality control would have taken a back seat by then. I'll look out for it though.john eden said:Yeah, I've not got those soundclash dubplate ones - keep meaning to pick them up...
I think things may have tailed off a bit quality wise, tho, I'll be very happy to be proved wrong. The only other comp I've seen around (on vinyl only) is a sort of "tribute to King Tubby" put out by Phantom and all that after he died. It's supposed to be a bit pony tho.
Yeah - the Pressure Sounds one is obviously what sent them down the road of their "Maximum Pressure" sublabel with stuff by Jammy and Techniques and so on. Only heard those 2, but they are wicked as well - highly recommended if you like the Firehouse one.
You're right, fixing radios was a more lucrative activity and a lot of the cuts were mixed by his engineers, so I wrote Tubbys' instead of Tubby's. A bit confusing maybe.matt b said:i thought tubby dropped into a kind of 'overseeing' role after 'tempo'- messing w/ electronics and occassionally telling phantom et al what to do- even the stuff on the pressure sounds comp is 'produced at king tubby's' rather than 'produced by king tubby'
i'm still loving the 12 volume(!) 'revenge of king jammy's super power allstars' lps (only two more to get)- prime mid 80s stuff
