Facts
Ein Meisterwerk aus dem Jahre 1976 wird offiziell als LP-Vinyl wiederveröffentlicht. King Tubby (bürgerlich
Osbourne Ruddock) ist die Lichtgestalt des Dub Reggae, die tragischerweise am 06.02.1989 im Alter von 48
Jahren bei einem Raubüberfall erschossen wurde. "Surrounded By The Dreads" erschien ursprünglich auf
dem wenig bekannten Fay Music Label des Produzenten Winston Edwards und wurde mit den Musikern der
Natty Locks Band in King Tubbys Studio eingespielt. Auf drei der zwölf Stücke sind die Stimmen von Tony
Brevett (von den Melodians), Prince Heron und Carvin Bradford zu hören.

Originally issued in 1976 for the Fay Music imprint, here’s the Dub classic re-printed for the 21st century on
wax. Recorded at King Tubby’s Studio with the musicians of the Natty Locks Band Jamaica. Produced by
Winston Edwards. The few vocals that appear on tracks B1, B3, and B5 are by Tony Brevett (member of The
Melodians), Prince Heron and Carvin Bradford. The quote (by Carl Gayle, Black Music)On the 26th
September 1975 at the National Arena, Kingston, Jamaica, King Tubby’s sound system entertained the
excited audience gathered there to listen to the almighty live sound of the Wailers on stage and the
overpowering dub music that Tubby has made world famous. On this particular night Tubby proved that he
was King playing from 6pm to 6am. King Tubby Surrounded By The Dreads At The National Arena is based
upon some of the various tracks that King Tubby played that night. Recorded At The King Tubby Studio,
