However, Bunny Lee’s Agro sounds meant a great deal both at home and away. They were tougher than tough, rougher than rough, kicked like a ‘bovver’ boot and were sharper than a razor cut trim. Raw, pure and undiluted they hit every time… some even troubled the UK National Charts.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBunny Lee first learnt the ways and means of creating hit records during his early years as a dancer on ‘Teenage Dance Party’ plugging records for Coxsone Dodd, Duke Reid and Leslie Kong. He moved into record production in 1967 tearing up the Jamaican charts with The Uniques and ‘Let Me Go Girl’. The hits never stopped and, alongside close associates and occasionally close rivals, men such as Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and Clancy Eccles, Striker began to create a brand-new style that pushed the music forward in startling new directions. The rhythms became faster, more aggressive and reggae was born.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStriker first visited England that year where, instead of cash advances from Island Records for releasing his records, he asked director, Dave Betteridge, for\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003einstruments for his musicians back home. On his return to Kingston his musicians put them to good use and continued to build this dynamic new sound. On one of his subsequent visits to London Striker met up with Eddy Grant who introduced him to the term ‘agro’ and Striker decided to adopt the name for his musicians.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“My friend Larry Lawrence used to tease Eddy Grant from The Equals all the time and Eddy used to say ‘Bunny, your friend is causing me agro’. I said, ‘What is that Eddy?’ and he said ‘aggravation’ meaning that he is annoying him. ‘Talk to him, man’ because Larry always teased him. Up to now if I see Eddy Grant I call him Agro! ‘Wha’ ‘appen Agro?’ and he says, ‘Yeah Bunny man!’ He is a good friend. So, I said I liked the name and when I went back to Jamaica, I’m going to call my group of guys The Aggrovators. That annoyed the other musicians… the big musicians! We couldn’t afford the big guys like Jackie Jackson and Winston Wright… this was after Bobby Aitken stopped playing and said ‘Me a go get a steady job now’. Bunny ‘Striker’ Lee\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo say the man and his music dominated at the time would be a complete understatement. ‘Striker’ was everywhere… travelling between Kingston, where he had opened his Agro Sounds record shop at 101 Orange Street, and London where he set up his Unity label with the Palmer brothers for the exclusive release of his productions and his Jackpot subsidiaries with both Trojan and Pama Records. Ubiquitous does not start to come into it.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaxie Romeo’s ‘Wet Dream’ spent six months on the charts in 1969 without once being played on the radio. Bunny was always trying new things… or old things. American R\u0026amp;B star Donnie Elbert’s ‘Without You’, voiced in London over Striker’s Jamaican ‘Lonely Girl’ rock steady rhythm, was playlisted on national Radio One later that year. It did not make the UK charts, but it did go straight to Number One in Jamaica. Bunny’s brother-in-law Derrick Morgan’s stirring ‘Moon Hop’ then bothered the lower reaches of the UK National Charts, but the record would have been a real smash hit were it not for The Pyramids’ (as Symarip) cover version which they renamed ‘Skinhead Moon Stomp’… the list goes on.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe sincerely hope that this compilation helps to point you in the direction of some of the best music from this often-overlooked period from one of the greatest producers ever… ‘The Agro Man’ himself Bunny Lee.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTrack 1.

He studied electronics at Kingston’s National Technical College and also on two correspondence courses from the U.S.A... When he had qualified Tubby began repairing radios and other electrical appliances in a shack in the back yard of his mother’s home. His work in the early days included winding transformers and building amplifiers for Kingston’s Sound Systems. Tubby built his first Sound System in 1957 playing jazz and Rhythm \u0026amp; Blues at local weddings and birthday parties. His reputation as a man who knew and understood both electronics and music grew steadily and as the sixties drew to a close. Tubby purchased his own basic two track equipment. He installed this alongside his dub cutting machine, a homemade mixing console and his impressive collection of Jazz albums in the back bedroom of his home at 18 Dromilly Avenue which he christened his music room.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTubby and Striker were at Treasure Isle Studio’s one day while Ruddy from Spanish Town was working with the engineer Byron Smith....\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Tubby and myself was talking when Ruddy was cutting some dub but Smithy (engineer) made a mistake through we were talking and forgot to put in the voice. It was two track recording in those days. Ruddy said ‘No Man! Make it stay! and so they cut the rhythm. When I went over to Ruddy’s that Saturday night a dance was in progress and when they played the vocal to the tune... then he said we’re going to play ‘Part Two’. They never called it ‘Version’..and then he played the rhythm track. The song was a catchy song and everybody started to sing along and the deejay started to toast so everything went down well. On Monday morning I went up and I said ‘Tubbs the mistake we made was a serious joke. It mash up Spanish Town! The people went wild. So you have to start to do that now ‘cause when the man put on the ‘Part Two’ everyone start singing this song. It played about twenty times. I said you try Tubbs!’...Well the next Saturday night now when Tubby strung up down the farm U Roy said he’s going to play ‘Part Two’ but Tubby did it different now. He started with the voice then dropped it out and let the rhythm run and then he brought in the voice in the middle and from there Tubby started to get really popular.’’ \u003cbr\u003eBunny ‘Striker’ Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDynamic Sounds upgraded to sixteen track recording in 1972 and Tubby purchased, again with the help of a deal brokered by Bunny Lee. The old four track equipment and the MCI console from their Studio B. The four tracks now gave him far wider scope to work with and he began to create a new musical form where the bass and drum parts were brought up while the faders allowed Tubby to ease the vocal and rhythm in and out of the mix. It was only a matter of time before Tubby’s dub plate experiments began to make it on to vinyl and the first ever long-playing King Tubby releases would feature a collection of his mixes to a selection of Strikers rhythms.

His reputation as a man who knew and understood both electronics and music grew steadily and as the sixties drew to a close.  Tubby purchased his own basic two track equipment.
