DUB
The 1970s saw a growing popularity of the so-called versions, a musical approach based on deforming, stripping, and rebuilding the original tune and came known as dub music. This exciting cutting edge of reggae music was more or less originated by the late great King Tubby. Engineers/producers such as Errol ‘ET’ Thompson, Lee Perry, Prince Jammy, Phillip Smart, and Scientist, were responsible for a steady output of this exciting new dimension to Jamaican music. By the end of 1976/early 1977, the dub craze had reached its peak with hundreds of dub albums being released, as every producer maximized the financial return of his riddims. However, most of these dub albums were pressed in very small quantities and disappeared quickly.
ERROL BROWN
Errol Brown was a nephew of Treasure Isle owner Duke Reid and was trained by engineer Byron Smith when he started as a junior engineer at his uncle’s studio. After Duke Reid died in 1974, Mrs. Sonia Pottinger took over and Errol Brown became the senior man in the studio. He dubbed up the old rocksteady and early reggae masterpieces, of which results can be found on three dub albums namely Treasure Isle Dub Vols 1 & 2 and Pleasure Dub. He also ventured into mixing dub versions of contemporary productions released through Sonia Pottinger’s labels High Note and Sky Note. This double cd, named after Sonia’s record shop Tip Top Records, brings no less than 42 slices of fine dub workouts from the period 1977/78.
MUSICIANS
Tip Top Dub is a ‘must have’ album, if only because it contains no less than 25 songs that have never been released in this format before. Adding to the quality of the tunes are the top musicians known as The Revolutionaries. Drummer Sly Dunbar and bassie Ranchie McLean – later replaced by Robbie Shakespeare – were joined by a constantly changing group of outstanding musicians such as Earl ‘Wire’ Lindo, Radcliffe ‘Dougie’ Bryan, Ansell Collins, Sticky Thompson, Bongo Herman, Bo Peep, Errol ‘Tarzan’ Nelson, Skully Simms, and Robbie Lyn.
TIP TOP DUB
Errol Brown’s strength lay in limiting sound effects. It had become more or less common to use extravagant effects when remixing the songs. Think of honking horns, animal sounds, slamming doors, and ringing phones. Errol kept it simple, with the right amount of echo and delay he managed to create a perfect atmosphere, often supplemented with vocal fragments.
