King Jammy
At Channel One
King Jammy is perhaps best known for evolving Reggae to the digital sound that ruled the 1980s. But his roots stem back to the analogue age of the 1970s working alongside King Tubby in those heady days when the King was still a Prince. But on this release we are going to concentrate Jammys recordings cut in the late 1970s when analogue was still the dominant sound. Although his work at King Tubbys is where he cut his musical teeth. Tubbys studio was mainly used for voicing tracks already recorded rhythms and cutting the dubs. So when Jammy wanted to cut a fresh rhythm with a band he mainly used Channel 1 Studio,which was the studio of choice at the time. We have handpicked some of Jammys finest recordings focussing on the work he carried out at the mighty Channel 1 studios. A fine selection of cuts that when listened to, show how so many hits from the time were from the great mans stable. A wicked choice of tracks from one of Jamaicas top producers.long may he reign..
