Studio One Dub Volume 2 Default Title

Soul Jazz Records, 2 X Sky Blue Colored Vinyl LP Album

New exclusive one-off pressing sky-blue double vinyl limited-edition. Out of print for 10+ years. First ever coloured vinyl edition. Studio One Dub 2 brings together some of the finest dubs from the legendary Studio One Records, Kingston, Jamaica. Dub music was the creation of a generation of brilliant recording studio engineers in Jamaica. Most of the original Studio One dub albums released during the 1970s were mixed by Dodd himself, using the moniker "Dub Specialist", although many talented engineers worked the board at the Brentford Road studio over the years (including Sylvan Morris, Syd Bucknor, and Overton "Scientist" Brown). Throughout the 1970s, these mixes became more sophisticated and atmospheric. The cuts here demonstrate that Studio One's contribution to the innovative musical form of dub was substantial and go straight to the head of listeners who feel that the only centres for dub were studios such as King Tubby's, Lee Perry's Black Ark, Channel One, or Joe Gibbs's. The tracks on this compilation are taken from this period in the 1970s when dub was the cutting-edge of Jamaican music studio production. Most of them are the dub-version flip-sides of rare Jamaican 45s. Sleevenotes are by Michael E. Veal, celebrated author of Dub: Soundscapes and Shattered Songs in Jamaican Reggae. REVIEWS: "Dub is the music of the studio engineers and the sound-system rulers. Studio One Dub cannot help but to serve as loving tribute to this giant of a man who not only defined popular music for the isle of Jamaica, but for the world over, his innovations laying the foundations for hip-hop, dance and post-rock." Pitchfork//"Soul Jazz unearths a new bag of lost, rare, and essential dub gems from Jamaican cornerstone label Studio One. A fresh taste of timeless music." XLR8R
