So many talented singers who sang soulful \/ righteous songs found their way onto tape. Maybe it was the competition between studios like Randys, Channel 1 and Harry J’s, and the quality of the singers available to sing these tunes. But whatever caused this explosion, the mighty voices of Horace Andy, Cornell Campbell, Johnny Clarke and Ronnie Davis never sounded better.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnother factor you can see from the individual track notes, that we unearthed researching these tunes is The cream of Kingstons’ musicians were also used to make these tracks. The Barrett Brothers, Carlton and Aston show they cut their musical teeth on many tunes, While also honing their drum and bass sound, that was to be their musical legacy while Working as part of Bob Marleys', The Wailers.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe great Santa Davis played drums alongside Robbie Shakespeare on many of these cuts, he came in the period just prior to Sly and Robbies’ partnership, from then on their work always seemed intertwined.

Then taken to King Tubbys' home studio at 18 Drummlie Avenue in the Waterhouse district of Kingston. This is where the great Dubmeister himself would record the vocal tracks. A method in which he preferred to work and then mix the tracks Tubby Style....
