Dub---No Problem

 

The Dubs from In The Light are mixed by Prince Jammy, King Tubby's protegee. You can hear Tubby's pupil just before he started his own label. This is possibly the closest Jammy ever came to learning the lessons of the King. 

Jammy leaves enough of Horace's sublime vocals from In the Light to please the ears without getting all reggae. As much as this album is Horace Andy, it is Prince Jammy as well. Jammy serves with a delicate hand & the result is near Dub perfection.

Horace Andy - In the Light Dub, Blood & Fire BAFLP007, 1995.

  5. I wonder did you hear the scientist in interview saying all the scientist vs prince jammy was just him mixing in the studio, no jammy! Either way many thanks for all the fine curation

  6. I have stated before my opinion of Prince Jammy. I call him pretender to the throne ever since he took the title King. Tubby was the one true king, but if anyone was his heir, it was Scientist, not Jammy. Jammy always took credit for the creations of others. His Greensleeves label ripped off many of the artists. Jammy had the material & kept the rights & royalties. I have shied away from most of his work around these parts. I just couldn't resist Horace's great Dub.
