WCVT [89.7FM TOWSON] WILL NEVER DIE.
2008-01-04 20:27:00
WCVT [89.7FM TOWSON] WILL NEVER DIE....not as long as I keep reposting my tape rip. I see that the download links for the tape rip are still active, so might as well bring this one back. Especially after chatting with Skizz, PJ Dorsey and Stacy Meyn as a result of my original WCVT post - all of which made my day, that particular day. Hey guys!Like this lovely little text from Stacy I received just a couple weeks ago really got me amped up about reposting...Mine is one of the voices on your recordings. Wild to hear again. Thanks so much for sharing those--Roberta Cowan (who also worked at the station) gave me the headsup about your blog.I'm happy to answer your questions--what a trip down the proverbial memorex lane...I should compose a post--would be nice to say hi to PJ and Skizz--it's been forever.Cheers,--Stacy WCVT 1987-1991 and briefly in 1992-1993 after it had become WTMD (spit spit)Spit Spit indeed. WTMD took over and with it came a flood of poor programming. I'd almost ra...

The Revolutionaries / Tappa Zukie - Escape From Hell
2008-01-04 17:52:00
The Revolutionaries / Tappa Zukie - Escape From Hell Label - Tappa / TrojanRecorded - 1977Style - Reggae , Dub, Lee Library , Roots (from Reggae-Vibes.com)One of Jamaica's most talented artists, Tappa Zukie has had an equal impact on both sides of the recording deck, as both a hitmaking toaster and as a producer who has worked with the cream of Jamaica's vocalists. In addition, his early ties to the punk community in both London and New York was instrumental in the crossover of roots reggae into the mainstream. Born David Sinclair, Tappa was a diminutive of a nickname his grandmother gave him, while Zukie was derived from the gang he ran with as a child, the Zukies. In his teens, he began working for the sound systems, first with I-Oses Discotech, then for the Maccabees. It was through the latter that he came to the attention of producer Bunny Lee; unfortunately, his off-hours delinquency ensured that he was also coming to the attention of the police.In 1973 he moved to London where h...

Various - Heavyweight Sound - A Blood And Fire SamplerLabel - Blood & FireReleased - 1995Style - Roots , Reggae , Dub, Lee Library Beginning with the release of If Deejay Was Your Trade in 1994, Blood & Fire continually set and maintained the highest standards around in the reggae reissue market. Here was a label concerned first and foremost with creating a product of such quality that future revisions would be entirely unnecessary; a label that insisted on paying both artists and producers of the music. From Intro 's exquisite design work, and Steve Barrow 's liner notes, to the music itself, these titles screamed essential. Drawing on the first seven titles, the '70s roots , dub , and DJ cuts gathered on Heavyweight Sound are the aural proof. If Deejay Was Your Trade captured a group of the era's finest mic men riding producer Bunny Lee 's rhythms (as dubbed by King Tubby ). The collaboration is represented here by I-Roy 's eye-opening plea 'War and Friction' and Tappa Zukie ...

Llwybr Llaethog - Mewn Dyb (In Dub)Label - ROIRReleased - 1991Style - Welsh Dub, Hardcore , Industrial , Funk Question: What do you get when you cross Front 242, Adrian Sherwood and Pere Ubu? Answer: I don't know either, but I didn't expect it to speak Welsh. Llwybr Llaethog may be the world's only Welsh reggae band, and that's probably just as it should be. This collection of dub tracks with completely unpronounceable titles (including the hits "Medru Dal y Pwysa" and "Mae'd Bywyd Braf") may look forbidding, and the photo of the band in cowboy outfits even more so, but don't be scared: this is some of the most interesting and compelling instrumental reggae you'll ever hear. From the powerhouse rockers beat and twisted samples of "Marion McKeone" to the Middle Eastern ullulations and turntable scratches of "Rhyfel (War in Baghdad Isn't My Bag Daddio)," the whole album bounces and bops with scintillating riddims even as it bubbles and seethes with subtle political anger. On the ...

Mute Beat in Dub
2008-01-04 15:57:00
Mute Beat in DubLabel - ROIRReleased - 1986Style - Jazz , Dub, Crystal Light, Reggae , Japanese , Lee Libary, Brammer Library(From Reggae-Reviews.com):Reggae has long been an underground favorite in Japan, but not only are there a significant amount of fans there listening to reggae, there has been some quality reggae music coming out of Japan since the early '80s. Dub seems to be the sound of choice of the best-known of these Japanese performers, with acts like Dry & Heavy, Pecker's 21st Century Dub, and Mute Beat honing a unique and engaging style. Like the 21st Century Dub album, Mute Beat in Dub is a distinct, seamless mix of dub, roots reggae, and jazz. Led by trumpeter Kazufumi "Echo" Kodama, the music is horn-dominated, often incorporating both trumpet and trombone intertwining in a harmonic ballet, as on "Landscape." While you might think that strictly horn-led dub may have its limitations, it never gets stale, from "Metro" to the distant, vintage sound of "Still Echo" t...

Niney The Observer Presents King Tubby - Bring The Dub Come

Niney The Observer Presents King Tubby - Bring The Dub ComeLabel: HeartbeatRecord date: 197XAlbum style: Dub, Lee Library , Reggae , Roots , TubbyAround 1969 Kingston-based producers started to issue singles with instrumental "versions" on the flipside of vocal releases, which were actually the basic riddim tracks. To these "versions" one could add further instrumentation or deejay accompaniment. Within a year the inclusion of instrumental versions on the flipside was common practice among the majority of Jamaica's producers. In 1971 the first real Dub recordings began to appear, with The Hippy Boys' "Voo Doo" - the version to Little Roy's "Hard Fighter", which was mixed by Lynford Anderson a.k.a. Andy Capp - now widely acknowledged to be the first recording in the genre. But it was pioneering sound engineer and sound system operator Osbourne Ruddock aka King Tubby who did more than any other to popularize and develop the sound. He explored the possibilities of sound from his small ...

Niney The Observer - Sledgehammer Dub (in the Streets of Jamaica )Label: MotionRecord date: 1977Album style: Dub, Lee Library , Reggae , Roots This classic dub album was originally released (only in Jamaica) in 77 in very limited numbers (300) on the Observer label and has up to now been one of the holy grails for collectors of dub reggae. It compiled alternative mixes of Dennis Brown single B sides (from 75/76) that King Tubby had made as exclusive dubplates for his Home Town Hi-Fi sound system. Heavier than the original single B sides they combine to make up an awesome dub album. The bonus tracks all maintain the Dennis Brown link, three of them being B side dubs of Dennis Brown songs, the fourth (CD only) is an exclusive, taken from dubplate.

Augustus Pablo
2007-12-26 20:35:00
Born 1954, St. Andrew, Jamaica, Horace Swaby aka Augustus Pablo , often in ill health, not only was responsible for putting the melodica on the musical map, but he also played a key role in the musical history of Jamaica. In his role as musician and producer he has helped to shape reggae so much that his music can easily be described as 'the sound of the Seventies'.The legend began in 1969 when a youthful Horace Swaby was standing in Herman Chin-Loy's 'Aquarius' record shop at 9 Constant Spring Road in Kingston, holding a melodica that had been lent to him by a young girl. The instrument was used in Jamaica in school music lessons but had never before been taken seriously by professional musicians. Herman Chin-Loy, who had a much-deserved reputation for experimenting with new sounds, asked the slightly-built teenager if he could play it and was so taken with the musical response that he booked recording time that same week at Randy's Studio 17 on North Parade in the heart of do...

Bonus tracks 13-16.If you had to pick just one album to represent dub "King Tubby Meets The Rockers Uptown" is the disc. The title really says it all: the collaboration between the premier engineer and the top roots producer of the mid-?70s resulted in definitive King Tubby interpretations of some of Pablo?s deepest rhythms. It also demonstrated conclusively that a studio engineer could be considered as creative as the singers, musicians and visionary producer who made the music. A dub is essentially a remix In the hands of an engineer as good as King Tubby (1941 ? 1989) it became an artform, and an incredibly popular one.For this ground-breaking disc, Pablo assembled a brilliant cast: the Upsetters/Wailers drum and bass duo of Aston "Family Man" Barrett and brother Car...

This record showcases some unknowns, lesser­-knowns and recently established stars in their own right. The late Hugh Mundell, who was bearly into his teens when he penned the chillingly prophetic (in terms of his own short stay on the planet) hymn is included herein.DJ's who toast in a style closer to U Roy than to the dance hall trend of the 80's such as Dillenger, Ras Bull and the mysterious Prince lrey (sounding almost too much like Mundell) complement the singers Delroy Williams and Barry Reid.

I consider this to be the perfect introduction to Augustus Pablo. I first heard this album in 1979 and had to keep playing it over and over again. It's moody, it's tense, it's smooth and heavy.

The Congos were just a duo, airborne falsetto Cedric Myton and tenor Roydel Johnson, who got together in 1976 and approached old acquaintance Lee 'Scratch' Perry about recording an album at his Black Ark Studio. This was in a two-year period when Black Ark (along with King Tubby's) offered the most exciting, unpredictable facilities on the island and attracted top hands like guitarist Ernest Ranglin, organist Winston Wright, and percussionist Noel "Skully" Simms. During the sessions, unrepeatable chemistry resulted in Perry's finest production of a vocal group and a body of songs more vivid than anything else by the Congos. Oddly, Island Records passed on The Heart of the Congos. Perry put it out under his own...

He began as a singer in the 60's, developed his skill as a melodica player, and then made his indelible mark as a producer in the 70's. His forte was the rhythm. Not the bouncing, melodic bass of Studio One, but the heavy pounding rhythms ideally suited to the era of Rasta militance. Typically he would develop a new rhythm, make umpteen cuts with various singers and DJs, hand them over to King Tubby for mixing, and then move on to the next one. He didn't have many rhythms, but boy were they good! ~bloodandfire.comTracklist:1. Termination Dub2. Save Our Dub3. Leggo The Herb Man Dub4. World Dub: Away With The Bad5. Wicked Tumbling Version6.

The lavish 16-page CD booklet amplifies these apocalyptic themes to stunning effect. This album was long unavailable since its first and only limited edition release in 1976. ~bloodandfire.co.ukPROPHESY OF DUB finds the dub master himself, King Tubby, working 14 Yabby U creations through the ringer.

Yabby You - Jesus Dread 1972-1977Label: Blood And Fire, 1997Record date: 1972-77Album style: Deejay , Dub, Instrumental , Lee Library , Roots , Vocalsb. Vivian Jackson, 14 June 1949, Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies. Yabby acquired his nickname from the drawn-out, chanting refrain on his 1972 debut single, "Conquering Lion": "Be You, Yabby Yabby You". Despite courting controversy in his repudiation of Rastafarian godhead Haile Selassie, in favour of a personalized form of Christianity, his output throughout the 70s and early 80s nonetheless rarely deviated far from the orthodox Rastafarianism typically expressed at the time. As leader of the Prophets (additional personnel at various times included Alric Forbes, Dada Smith, Bobby Melody and the Ralph Brothers), Yabby recorded a remarkable series of roots reggae classics, including "Jah Vengeance", "Run Come Rally", "Love Thy Neighbours", "Valley Of Jehosaphat", "Judgement On The Land", "Fire In Kingston", "Chant Down Babylon' and many oth...

The Heptones - Unreleased Night Food & Rare Black Ark SessionsLabel - Aural*xRecorded - 1976-77Style - Ska, Dub, Rare, Reggae , Lee Library, Black Ark(review from rasputinmusic)After their five-year contract with Coxsone was up, the Heptones went freelance and recorded at an array of other studios, but it was their classics "Country Boy" and "Book of Rules" for Harry J that endured. Though it's touted with the mystical Black Ark label, most of this album was recorded at Harry J's studios.

Black Uhuru - The Dub Factor Label: IslandRecord Date: 1983Album style: Digital Dub, Dub, Electronic , Lee Library , Paul 'Groucho' SmykleComments: This is the CD reissue with three bonus tracks. This is a dub masterpiece! The original album changed my life.Since Black Uhuru is, with the possible exception of the original Wailers, the most famous vocal group in reggae history, a full dub album might seem an odd career choice. But 1983's THE DUB FACTOR is one of the decade's finest dub efforts. With classic reggae voices like those of Michael Rose and Puma Jones at hand, it's no wonder producers/bandleaders Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare use more vocals than are common in dub.The vocals are treated as accents, or processed beyond recognition (as on the wild "Android Rebellion"). This leaves the focus squarely on Sly and Robbie's staggering bass/drum interplay and on the inventive keyboards of Wally Badarou. His unique synthesizer style has been so widely used and imitated that,...

Eight Dubwise Experiences as I would say. Mixed by the hands of Paul "groucho" Smykle, the same who mixed the legendary DUB FACTOR (Black Uhuru) and the arguably even more legendary Ini Kamoze mini LP back in the 1980's, this album belongs in my personal all time top ten of favorite Dub Albums. The music on the album, needless to say actually when it's Sly and Robbie, is super tight! 1983. Digital Devices were not so common as today, and people were complaining about what they called a plastic sound. It's in this time, that Paul Smykle mixes some of the weirdest dubs with the use of these so-called plastic devices, at such a high level of skill, that many of today's DUB producers can only dream of making dub mixes like the ones presented on this CD.
