Bunny Lee? Well ... he was one of the most prolific producers in the reggae industry. I'm not sure I really understand your question?

Which rydims you talking bout? Striker Lee put out a lot of rydims of all different styles.
The equivelent in the 70's to what Jammys did in the 80's

No ! King Tubby was an engineer,Striker Lee was probably (imo) the biggest producer of the 70's.

Jammys was an engineer who worked at King Tubbys studio before he became a producer but he did mix a lot of Stiker lee material so some Stiker tunes may sound like Jammys.

Maybe your question should be.."What does a producer do?"

I think the signature sound of Striker Lee was the"flying cymbal"

Check out Johnny Clarke's output from 1975-1978

ok, interesting

ok to make more clear bout what i mean,

and to make i self ovastand this mix up,
how did lee get that steling version it was originally channel one. it only sounds different from mixing. now this dennis tune, listen it very carefully and you will hear datit is da same version from jammy they just added some effect on the drums. to me a producer is like fattis & jammy, they got an idea, they gather musician and work wid dem sometimes they buy version but me never yet hear a version by both of dem which got only remixed like dat stealing version. i kinda dont ovastand the role of a striker lee in the program.

[donstrumental]

the two versions of stealing are definately two different recordings with different musicians,the volcano is the later version.

Put up the dennis tune and mek me hear it!

hey guys I know that this site ignores on purpose what was made before 1970 but bunny lee has been one of the pioneers in jamaican music!

he started his career in 1962 working for duke reid,then leslie kong and ken lack. then he ran his own label and hit the charts during the rocksteady era with classics like "my conversation" (the uniques).

remember that tubby made very early dub versions for duke reid. during the early 70's, bunny was maybe the most important producer and he hosted his friend king tubby for versions (they knew eachother cos they worked for duke reid in the late 60's).

I know it's difficult to believe for many people here but channel one wasn't a founder at all. tubby and dubs came straight from the rocksteady era!
