If you've ever wondered about what Charlie Chaplin got up to when he wasn't making black and white movies, here's a reggae tune where he sings of one of his hobbies.

The Ruts were a Punk band who brought elements of Reggae into their sound. As the Ruts DC, they produced some splendid Dub Reggae. Here's a couple of their tunes. (Produced by Ruts DC and the Mad Professor).

The burning, bitter taste of irony.
The prisoner in the land of the free.

I've been flipping through the pages of this thread over the past few days and enjoying some of the tunes as I go.
I'll add a few more.

Joe Gibbs was a reggae Producer who set up his first studio in the back of his TV repair shop, with a two track tape machine as the recording equipment.
He went on to produce many reggae greats.
Here's a tune from Culture, produced by Joe, when he'd progressed from the back of his shop.

A Gregory Isaacs tune produced by Errol Thompson and Joe Gibbs.

This next song was originally to be sung to a Ska beat. When it came to the studio, it didn't sound right, so the Ska beat was slowed down.
Some credit this as being the first tune made with a Rocksteady beat.
Produced by Joe Gibbs, with, so the story goes, Lee Perry as engineer.

**YeesipSam** · 23-09-2015, 07:11 PM

Lee Perry made a Dub version some time later.

This may well have been posted before on this thread, but now is a good time to rewind and play it again, as it was recorded in Joe Gibbs' studio.
The vid features a brief appearance of Errol Thompson on the mixing desk.
