:.: Notes And Information About The Release :.:
┤;: ........................................... :;`
┤ `
The story of Freedom Sounds began in the ghetto of Greenwich
Town, Western Kingston, in 1975. Label founder / producer Betram
Brown (born February 17th 1950) took singer Philip Frazer into
the studio with the local band, Soul Syndicate, led by guitarist
Earl 'Chinna' Smith. The first release was called 'This Time Won't
Be Like The Last Time'.
Over the next five years Bertram would record some of the most
intense roots music of the decade, with singers like Prince Alla,
Earl Zero, Rod Taylor, Frankie Jones, Milton Henry, Sylvan White,
Roy Palmer and Sammy Dread, most of whom were based in Greenwich
Town. Bertram also used the studio of the dub originator King
Tubby for voicing and mixing. All Freedom Sounds dubs were mixed
by the King himself. Often Bertram and friends would have to lock
themselves in with Tubby - the studio was located near to a gully
which marked the boundary between two warring political zones.
The results of those sessions are presented here, remastered, for
the most part, from the original tapes. The heavy Soul Syndicate
rhythm tracks - all, incidentally, original rhythms purpose-built
for the songs - presented Tubby with an ideal opportunity to
manifest his singular powers of reinvention in serious dubwise
fashion.
Check, for example, the dub to Prince Alla's 'Stone', here
called 'Great Stone'. Tubbs himself contributed the rolling
thunder effect to this stunning mix. Bertram recalls asking
King Tubby to 'Roll the stone, Tubbs, roll the stone' during the
mix. This dub prefigures the so - called 'jungle' style with its
startling use of delay to create a double speed rhythm. It's one
of Tubby's best-ever mixes and a defining moment in the history
of dub.
Versions of many of the best-loved Freedom Sounds hits are
included in the selection (see following key). Although it is
nearly twenty years since this music was recorded and mixed, the
creativity of everyone involved ensures its continuing power.
Blood and Fire is proud to present 'Freedom Sounds in Dub' -
the very first Freedom Sounds dub album.
