About this item

Burning Sounds re-release of classic collection of 1970s dubs from Niney The Observer. Produced by Errol Thompson and Phillip Smart and featuring Niney's rhythms and instrumental versions of classic songs by the Heptones ("Why Must I") and Dennis Brown ("Voice of My Father"), among others, all dubbed at King Tubby's. Apart from a couple of Cimarrons songs, all the tracks here were played by the mighty Soul Syndicate studio band, featuring George 'Fully' Fullwood (bass) and Carlton 'Santa' Davis (drums). Davis was quite adept at the "flying cymbal" sound popular at the time of these recordings, and it can be heard on many of the tracks on this album.
