Tubby's beep

[digitalJ]

How many of King Tubby's dubs start with that famous beep of his?

[I-Lion Tafari]

Love that beep.
What was it used for? Maybe as a test signal to sound check the mixing board?

[pete]

i think its a sinus test tone

I remember scientist in an interview many years ago said it was feedback from the tape signal going back to the board,discovered by accident.

[Tribulation]

So bloody futuristic, i love it.

Alright...alright..alright...focus guys...lets get back to the question :

Just a guess.

I think the question needs to be narrowed down a bit to "Name theKing tubbys dubs with the famous Beep"

[DUDLEY 1NE]

that to my knowledge was a continious cue tone, cut down to beeps everytime the button was pressed. as for the amount of records that has it at the start "countless" including dubplates which was overwashed with it. i believe Channel one studio had their version of the beep too.
