THE AGGROVATORS - Dubbing It Studio 1 Style (Repress) - LP - Vinyl [OCT 18]

LP - Black Vinyl.  

The Aggrovators were one of Jamaica's finest session bands. The band were put together by Bunny 'Striker' Lee one of Jamaica's formidable producers,who with no studio of his own had to rely on buying studio time from the existing establishments, such as Randy's Studio 17 and the Hookim brothers Channel One. This was an expensive task and he needed a pool of top musicians who could cut tracks quickly and efficiently.

Built around the cream of Jamaica's musicians namely; Carlton 'Santa' Davis, Carlton Barrett [Drums], Robbie Shakespeare, Aston 'Family man' Barrett, Lloyd Parks [Bass], Earl 'Chinna' Smith [ lead guitar ], Tony Chin, Winston 'Bo Beep' Bowen [Rhythm Guitar] Ansel Collins [Piano], Bernard ' touter' Harvey, Winston Wright [ Organ ], Bobby Ellis [Trumpet], Vin Gordon [Trombone], Tommy McCook [Tenor Saxophone ] and Lennox Brown [ Alto Saxophone ].

The updating of Studio One classics which in some cases were reworkings of American R & B tunes [ 'foreign tunes ' as they were known in Jamaica ], was common practice. The rhythms were much loved favourites and with the added incentive that the musicians knew the tracks inside out .This set of dubs are straight from the master tapes of such sessions orchestrated by the man Bunny Lee himself, no one knew better. You can't keep a good tune down never mind a great one. So sit back and enjoy The Aggrovators in fine Studio One style...
