King Tubby Meets Jacob Miller In A Tenement Yard



King Tubby Meets Jacob Miller In A Tenement Yard is one of the rarest dub albums ever to surface in Jamaica and, because of the specific ingredients of its creation, it's also one of the most unique. Pressed in minute quantities in Jamaica, in or around 1976, it is virtually unknown, because it somehow surfaced in a blank sleeve, bearing only the label of a related 12-inch single: 'City of the Weak Heart', which was released on the obscure E-E Saw label (a phonetic reference to the biblical character Esau). Produced by the Lewis Brothers (aka Fatman Riddim Section from Inner Circle), for their company ABC Productions, the album was composed of a number of Jacob Miller's most hard-hitting roots rhythms from the Tenement Yard and Killer albums. These featured synthesiser overdubs by Bernard 'Touter' Harvey, all mixed deep into the dub stratosphere by King Tubby.
