Hello,

I was wondering to what extent Lee Perry and King Tubby really worked togheter. I know on the Blackboard Jungle album King Tubby is mentioned in the song dub organizer, but there are alot of albums mentioning their collaboration. Does anybody knows more about these? And how about Lee Perry and Scientist?

Thank you

you can read your answer in this book:

The story of record goes that many of Perry's later Randy's recordings and some early Black Ark recordings were mixed and re-mixed at Tubby's studio. So roughly 1972-'74. It does apply to a tremendous number of recordings. How much the two actually worked side-by-side is hard to say, but there is an obvious mutual influence.

tubbys best stuff (except east of the river nile perhaps, and even then...) was, imo, recorded with lee perry. king tubby was clearly a fine engineer, but i think lee perry must have played a much larger part than people give him credit for in 14 blackboard jungle and the dub b sides etc. i mean, listen to soul rebel and tell me that lee perry wouldnt have come to make blackboard jungle anyway, regardless of tubby.

Probably, but Tubby was a thousand times a better dub re-mixer that Perry could ever have been, there is no comparison between Perry and Tubby, Tubby would win every time

Nice debate. I wonder if this ever leads to anywhere.

your wrong, red is better than blue
