King Tubby is to this day synonymous with dub. He was a man ██
who had a passion for fiddling with sound equipment, and ██
turned that passion into a new musical genre and a veritable ██
art form. He may have started his career as a repairman, but ██
before he was done, his name was one of the most respected ██
around the world. He worked with virtually every artist in ██
Jamaica, and his name on a remix was like gold, a seal of ██
quality that was never questioned. ██
King Tubby was born under the more humble name of Osbourne ██
Ruddock in Kingston, Jamaica, on January 28, 1941. ██
Initially, the closest he got to the music scene was via the ██
airwaves, as Ruddock spent his teens working as a radio ██
repairman. In the mid-'50s, Jamaica was undergoing a ██
revolution that saw the audiences move out of the ██
dancehalls, which had once packed them in with live music ██
provided by big bands, and onto the streets. There the sound ██
systems ruled as traveling outfits set themselves up on a ██
sociable street or corner and blasted records to crowds ██
through a speaker. Initially they were small, but the sound ██
systems quickly grew in size and legend; the competition ██
extremely fierce and often violent. Speakers were the usual ██
victims of these rivalries (sometimes along with the DJs, ██
organizers, and even the audience). The people weren't the ██
only ones who were damaged, which is why in the late '50s ██
the operator of a Waterhouse sound system approached Ruddock ██
for help. The repairman fixed that speaker, then another, ██
and another, until he was providing first aid for a variety ██
of sound systems around the city. A born tinkerer, Ruddock ██
inevitably began coming up with ways to improve things as ██
well. He spent years working on other people's sound ██
systems, but by 1968, he was ready to open his own shop: the ██
legendary Tubby's Home Town Hi Fi. The sound he provided ██
there was nigh on perfect, which meant King Tubby himself ██
was now beginning to look around for something new to fiddle ██
with. Producer Duke Reid offered the perfect solution via a ██
job at his Treasure Isle studio as a disc cutter. There, ██
King Tubby began deconstructing and reconstructing music in ██
the same way he had sound systems, but these early efforts ██
were really remixes, an already old skill in Jamaica. The ██
remix began as a "version" B-side, nothing more than an ██
instrumental of a vocal track. Ruddy Redwood, a sound system ██
MC and engineer at Treasure Isle, had taken the next logical ██
step forward, physically remixing records in the rocksteady ██
years to place the focus on the bass. King Tubby took this ██
concept to a whole new level. He started stripping out not ██
only the vocals, but cutting up instrumental parts, dropping ██
them in and out of the tracks, adding new effects and ██
sounds, while also making use of phasing, shifts, and ██
echoes. Many of these experiments were pressed onto acetate ██
dub plates and spun at his sound system. These stripped-down ██
tracks were integral to the rise of the DJs, and King Tubby ██
not only cut exclusive dub plates for his favorites, he also ██
hired the best to perform at his sound system. U-Roy, I-Roy, ██
and Big Youth were just some of the stars who made their ██
mark toasting at Tubby's Hi Fi. ██
██
In 1971, King Tubby was ready to take another leap forward ██
and opened his own studio. There, the experiments continued ██
as the remixer turned engineer moved into the area of studio ██
effects. The studio quickly became a favorite for the likes ██
of Augustus Pablo, Lee Perry, Prince Tony Robinson, and Glen ██
Brown. It was the latter man who history acclaims as the ██
first to actually credit a King Tubby mix on record. The ██
aptly titled "Tubby's at the Control" was a remix of God ██
Sons' (an alias for Tommy McCook and Rad Bryan) "Merry Up." ██
Robinson followed suit, releasing "Tubby's in Full Swing," ██
on a song credited to Lloyd Robinson and Carey Johnson. ██
██
King Tubby began turning out remixes in prolific numbers. ██
Bunny Lee kept him busy with a constant stream of singles to ██
remix and a batch were bundled up in 1974 as the seminal Dub ██
From the Roots album, and more were featured on the ██
follow-up, King Tubby Meets the Aggrovators at Dub Station. ██
Years later, the British Klik label reissued most of Roots ██
as Shalom Dub, buttressed with bonus tracks. Another U.K. ██
label, Attack, has also released the King Tubby-fueled Dub ██
Jackpot, featuring rarer remixes and dubs of Lee ██
productions. Blood & Fire's If Deejay Was Your Trade ù The ██
Dreads at King Tubby's 1974-1977 also boasts Tubby's takes ██
on Lee's productions, this time focusing exclusively on DJs, ██
as did the French label Culture Press' Bunny Lee, King Tubby ██
& The Aggrovators. Tubby also worked with Vivian Jackson ██
after meeting in 1971 when Jackson handed him a rhythm and ██
the remixer went to work. The result was the hit "Go to ██
Zion," credited to Brother Joe & The Rightful Brothers, an ██
alias for Jackson, the Congo's Roydel Johnson, and the ██
Gladiators' Albert Griffiths. Jackson and King Tubby's ██
follow-up, "Conquering Lion," was another hit, and gave the ██
artist/producer his nickname "Yabby You." Yabby You released ██
his debut album, Conquering Lion, in 1975, and Tubby ██
provided the dub companion King Tubby's Prophecy of Dub the ██
following year. Yabby You's sophomore set, 1977's Wall of ██
Jerusalem, boasted Tubby dubs across half the set. Augustus ██
Pablo, the famed melodica player and producer, was also a ██
client, and King Tubby remixed music for Pablo's Rockers ██
label, much of which appeared on the songs' B-sides. The ██
pair cemented their partnership with the seminal 1975 Ital ██
Dub album, the outtakes from the sessions appearing 15 years ██
later as El Rockers, a release from the British Pressure ██
Drop label. However, Ital Dub was merely a warm-up for the ██
King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown, a record that established ██
both King Tubby and Pablo's undying reputation. Their ██
follow-up, Rockers Meet King Tubby in a Firehouse, merely ██
added to their glory. ██
██
Across the early '70s, the remixer's experiments had swiftly ██
evolved into pure dub, and his remixes were no longer a ██
remix at all, but a total reinvention of the song. Another ██
giant step forward had occurred in 1973 when King Tubby ██
purchased a second four-track, which allowed him to record ██
vocals. The new setup was inaugurated with Roy Shirley's ██
"Stepping Razor" that same year. King Tubby had his first ██
hit the following year with "Watergate Rock," a dub of Larry ██
Marshall's "I Admire You." This inevitably led to Tubby ██
taking on Marshall's entire I Admire You album. It was a ██
busy year as Bunny Lee also released the aforementioned Dub ██
From the Roots set while King Tubby also joined forces with ██
Lee Perry for Blackboard Jungle Dub. He next worked with ██
Niney "the Observer" Holness on 1975's Dubbing With the ██
Observer and the 1989 Trojan compilation King Tubby's ██
Special 1973-1976 resurrected that album, then added ██
shrewdly selected Bunny Lee productions for a monster ██
30-track set. After Tubby's work with Holness, producer ██
Harry Mudie supplied him with material that couldn't quite ██
compete, but Harry Mudie Meets King Tubby in Dub Conference, ██
Vol. 1 was still sublime and the pair's partnership ██
continued across another two volumes of music. King Tubby ██
was also happy to provide mixes for Glen Brown, the man who ██
first gave him his due. Trojan's Dubble Attack ù The ██
Original Pantomime DJ Collection 1972-1974 features the ██
island's greatest DJs, overseen by Brown, then reconstructed ██
by Tubby. Blood & Fire concentrates on Brown's more ██
roots-conscious work for the equally masterful Glen Brown & ██
King Tubby ù Termination Dub 1973-1979. Another client was ██
Glen Darby, whose productions recorded at Channel One by ██
JoJo Hookim and Philip Smart were eventually compiled across ██
Guava Jelly's two-CD set, The Sound of Channel One: King ██
Tubby Connection, which pairs the original vocal tracks with ██
their dub companions. ██
██
By the end of the '70s, however, King Tubby had turned his ██
attention to teaching and training a new generation of ██
engineers and producers, including Prince Jammy (who would ██
only take the crown once his mentor had died, becoming at ██
that point King Jammy), the equally innovative Scientist, ██
and Prince Philip Smart, among others. ██
██
King Tubby continued creating new mixes, but no longer at ██
the previous rate. In the new decade, he and Jah Screw took ██
on Ranking Joe and the Roots Radics for the excellent ██
Dangerous Dub. It was to be one of the last full-length ██
remixes Tubby would do. That same year, First, Second and ██
Third Generations of Dub brought together the teacher, ██
alumnus Prince Jammy, and the young graduate, Scientist, for ██
an album that aptly illustrated the development of all ██
three.Scientist and King Tubby united for two more albums ██
released in 1996 by the U.K. label Burning Sounds, King ██
Tubby Meets Scientist In a World of Dub and King Tubby Meets ██
Scientist at Dub Station. Even as King Tubby's output ██
dropped, he still remained an integral part of the music ██
scene. He upgraded his studio again and also launched his ██
own record labels ù Firehouse, Waterhouse, Kingston II, and ██
Taurus. ██
██
By the mid-'80s, King Tubby had shifted into production, and ██
released a stream of seminal singles by the likes of Sugar ██
Minott and Anthony Red Rose. He occasionally released albums ██
and reunited with Bunny Lee for 1983's King Tubby the ██
Dubmaster With the Waterhouse Posse and Sly & Robbie Meet ██
King Tubby in 1985. Both sets disappointed, perhaps because ██
Tubby had taken dub as far as it could go. His best work was ██
now in the production field, working with young DJs and ██
veteran vocalists. Pliers (of Chaka Demus fame), Ninjaman, ██
Gregory Isaacs, and Johnny Clarke were just some of the ██
talent who cut singles for him. King Tubby's Presents ██
Soundclash Dubplate Style arrived in 1989, bundling up dubs ██
of his dancehall hits. As the decade drew to a close, King ██
Tubby seemed destined to continue stamping his imprint on ██
Jamaica's scene, still in demand, and still a powerful ██
musical force. Then, on February 6, 1989, his career came to ██
a sudden end when he was shot and killed outside his home in ██
Waterhouse. His murder remains unsolved, his death believed ██
to have been the result of a street robbery. In the years ██
since, King Tubby's renown has only grown. As time has ██
passed, even more material has come to light and albums that ██
saw only limited release are now easily available ██
