Description:
UK import!
Winston ‘Niney’ Holness, A.K.A. The Observer, must be one of
reggae’s finest Roots Rebel producers. Capable of making some
of the heaviest, innovative music, not only in sound but also
in the Cultural/Political sense. Born George Boswell, Montego
Bay, Jamaica,1951,and name checked ’Niney’, due to losing a
thumb in a workshop accident. He began his career in music by
organising bands to play at school dances. But his first steps
learning the musical ropes came working under the tutor ledge
of producer Bunny Lee around 1967, organising sessions for
Bunny’s stable of artists. He moved on to work alongside Lee Perry
at Joe Gibb’s ‘Amalgamated’ label setup, where on Lee Perry’s
leaving in 1969 to start his own ‘Upsetter’ label,Niney became
chief engineer.
Inspired by Perry’s success it wasn't long before his own
‘Destroyer’ label was under way. Tubby would strip the
tracks back to the bone and rebuild them sometimes leaving off
the hook line. Weather that be the horn line or keyboard line
and adding effects over the top that could disguise the
cut even more. Even Niney stating that when Tubby had finished
with a cut, he found it hard to recognise the track
himself.
It's these tracks as dub plate specials that Tubby would play on
his Hometown HI - FI Sound System and it's these such tracks
that we have compiled for this release. Dub Plates that have
not seen the light of day since tragically the great
Osbourne Ruddock A.K.A. King Tubby was gunned down and
murdered on the 6th December 1989.
