Bunny “Striker” Lee was instrumental in producing early dub music, working with his friend and dub pioneer King Tubby in the early 1970s. Lee and Tubby were experimenting with new production techniques, which they called “implements of sound.”Working with equipment that today would be considered primitive and limiting, they produced tracks that consisted of mostly the rhythm parts mixed with distorted or altered versions of a song.
With all the bass and drum ting now, dem ting just start by accident, a man sing off key, an when you a reach a dat you drop out everything an leave the drum, an lick in the bass, an cause a confusion an people like it…
What you have here is a fine selection of Bunny “Striker” Lee, starting with some early reggae hits by Delroy Wilson and Slim Smith, then passing thru the era of the “flying cymbals” courtesy of the drummer Santa Davis and closing with some crucial heavyweight tunes by one of the most prolific singers of the Bunny Lee camp, Johnny Clarke.
