Factory sealed brand spanking new

In 1975, Jamaican dub music had evolved from being a mere instrumental version of a singer’s hit to a unique creative force. During this period, instruments dropped in and out of the mix unexpectedly, vocals were frozen in time by heavy doses of echo and reverb, and filtered drums changed shape before listeners’ ears. It was a transformative time for dub music.

One lesser-known gem from that era is the 1975 encounter between King Tubby and the Morwells. The Morwells, formed in 1973 by Maurice Wellington and Eric Lamont, began releasing music on their own MOR-WELL ESQ label. Their collaboration with King Tubby resulted in the album “Morwell Unlimited Meet King Tubby’s Dub Me”.

While this album may not have received widespread acclaim upon its reissue in 1997, it’s still worth noting for serious reggae fans.
