The legendary 1977 dub album Sledge Hammer Dub In The Street Of Jamaica, with King Tubby's velvet mittens all over it. Listen to the entire thing with headphones, all the tracks are standouts. It's mostly an instrumental piece. The original pressing was only between 300-400 copies, with no indication of it being officially released. It basically was lost in time and this work has become a holy grail and collector's item for the seriously committed dub fan. Reissued on Secret Records, which is like uncovering lost Inca gold. The work really showcases King Tubby's long-lasting influence, which his legacy has been responsible for the invention of the remix, or what we understand as the remix today. King Tubby brought sound engineering to lofty heights, as his role of head overseer gave his work the finishing touch.
