Travelling Version - Niney The Observer Meets King Tubby

http://sledgehammerdub.blogspot.com/ ~~~
Travelling Version is a dub mix of Travelling Man (Dennis Brown) that King Tubby made especially for his Home Town Hi-Fi sound system. Heavy dub. From the album 'Sledgehammer Dub' (Motion Records) www.sledgehammerdub.blogspot.com Avaiable from iTunes. A compilation of alternative mixes to Dennis Brown B-Sides from 75/76 (many of the vocals can be found on the "Deep Down With Dennis Brown" LP), "Sledgehammer Dub" was first released on the Observer label in late 1976 and original copies have been the subject of bidding wars between reggae collectors ever since. Why? Because the bugger aint just a quarter century old and damn good, its also seriously scarce. The initial pressing run was tiny, somewhere around 300 records, so all praises due to Motion for making it more widely available." The secret to the success of all his best works, says Holness, is in the rhythms. Not the lyrics, not the skill of the singer, the band or the producer, but the power of the rhythms themselves.
