King Jammy is perhaps best known for evolving Reggae to the digital sound that ruled the 1980s.But his roots stem back to the analogue age of the 1970’s working alongside King Tubby in those heady days when the King was still a Prince. But on this release Kingston Sounds concentrate on Jammy’s recordings cut in the late 1970’s when analogue was still the dominant sound. Although his work at King Tubbys is where he cut his musical teeth. Tubby’s studio was mainly used for voicing tracks already recorded rhythms and cutting the dubs. So when Jammy wanted to cut a fresh rhythm with a band he mainly used Channel 1 Studio,which was the studio of choice at the time. Kingston Sounds have handpicked some of Jammy’s finest recordings focussing on the work he carried out at the mighty Channel 1 studios. It features cuts from Dennis Brown, Junior Reid, Sugar Minott, Wayne Smith to name a few.

Portland's Elite Beat is a musical collective with a history spanning back to 2006.Selected Rhymths is packed full of DIY dub mixing, cosmic orchestration and raw, percussion driven polyrhythms, the recordings have been remastered and put to vinyl for the first time with sections from Casual Rhythms Vol. 1 being re-shaped into previously unavailable single tracks.The sound is genre-less rhythm music with an emphasis on live playing, free form expression and technique that borrows from soundsystem culture. Inspiration can be heard from all parts of time and place. Some Ethio Jazz, Black Ark psychedelia, Exotica, Malian blues, even Haight-Ashbury in the summer of love.

The importance of King Tubby's studio to the history of recorded sound is beyond measure and its all encompassing influence is a lasting monument to the resolute resourcefulness of Jamaica's musical pioneers. The dubs here were originally assembled by the Blood & Fire label for three bestselling but long deleted 1990s compilations that are now much sought after. Freshly sequenced and re-mastered, "Dubbing At King Tubby's" showcases the mixing skills of King Tubby, Prince Jammy, Scientist, Phillip Smart and Pat Kelly on a drum and bass heavy selection of ground-breaking Bunny Lee dubs.
