WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

By 1975, the technology available to Dub mixers had changed out of all recognition.

Posted about 1 year ago


Studios commonly had as many as EIGHT tracks, with slide faders, reverb, graphic equalizers and echo now standard devices.

Even so, The IInd Street Dreads "Pick a Dub", produced by the maverick Keith Hudson, and featuring the Barrett Brothers, Earl "Chinna" Smith and the Soul Syndicate, caused a sensation in the late summer of 1975.

Here from that LP, mixed by King Tubby, is "In The Rain" - if you listen very closely to the chord structure you might gradually discern that it is in fact the dub to a (probably unreleased) reggae cover of The Dramatics' soul weepie of the same name
