The productions of producer Bunny ‘Striker’ Lee were so extensive in the early to mid 1970’s that labels were created just to handle his ever expanding output. Three labels that came about during this time when dub was king, were Jackpot, Justice and Ajack. Here we look at the Justice label and have compiled a collection of some its finest dub cuts.

Justice records was formed in the early 1970’s as we stated earlier, as a subsidiary label to handle the ever growing output of Producer and hit maker from Jamaica Bunny ‘Striker’ Lee. Bunny worked in all the Jamaican studio’s and as an independent operator would licence his product to all the different labels in England and America.

Bunny was at the birth of dub music and worked closely with King Tubby where he stored many of his masters, so Bunny’s rhythms were always available for Tubby to work his magic over. Version had hit big around this time and many records were brought for the flip side dub of the vocal cut. The side that was proving so popular at the sound system dances, where the records were tried and tested. So inevitably nearly all Justice record’s carried its dub counterpart.

We have compiled what we think are some of the best dubcuts from this label and era. Hope you enjoy the set.
