2009 - Joe Gibbs - 12 Inch Reggae Discomix Showcase Vol 1
The enormous influence of Joe Gibbs (Joel Gibson) on the development of reggae is widely recognised. Together with Errol Thompson at the mixing desk, the ‘Mighty Two’ had a key role in the emergence of dub, the sound of legendary names including Dennis Brown, Marcia Aitken and Culture, and the commercial success of reggae for a mass audience beyond Jamaica that still managed to stay true to its roots. After opening his studio in Duhaney Park in the 1960s, Gibbs moved to a new multi-track studio in Retirement Crescent in the mid-70s where the Mighty Two were to define the sound of the key late-70s period in reggae, just before the music would change direction during the digital age. Released in three separate volumes, this definitive collection draws from that period - and that studio - and amply demonstrates the reasons for Gibbs’ outstanding reputation. The backing rhythms are excellent throughout, as you’d expect from a roll-call of musicians including Tommy McCook, Tony Chin and Sly and Robbie. Productions from Gibbs and Thompson always had a distinctive sound, softer and subtler in its execution than some of his contemporaries. There is a typical simplicity to the mixes and dubs here. The bass is prominent but the percussion is invariably light. Each track on this new release is featured in its extended 12” mix version, so we have some insight into how Gibbs and Thompson let the rhythms develop.
Joe Gibbs 12" Volume One sets the pattern, opening with ‘Feeling Soul’ from Ruddy Thomas; the sound is essential Joe Gibbs: gentle roots music, keyboard and bass holding it together, going straight into the version from Trinity over a bass line mixed up-front. Next up is Marcia Aitken with ‘My Man’, together with its 12” version, again by Trinity, with a characteristic take on ‘Blouse and Skirt’. Also on Volume One can be found the Mighty Diamonds, Junior Murvin, and the coupling of Dennis Brown and Prince Mohammed (a combination best known in the UK for Gibbs’ production of the classic re-recorded hit ‘Money in my Pocket’), here offering ‘How Can I Leave You’. These are not the usual well-worn reggae tunes re-released yet again. Some of these songs will be unfamiliar even to those close to reggae. A case in point is the excellent ‘A Win Them’ by Leo Graham, coupled with I-Roy’s treatment of the rhythm in the form of ‘News Carrier’ over the top of snatches of Leo Graham’s vocal. The distinctive chords of ‘Riding for a Fall’ will be more familiar, though in this incarnation it is not by John Holt, but is a lesser known version from George Nooks, with accompanying 12” dee-jaying from Welton Irie.

👽Help for the Hidden Links on my posts👽(Updated Sat 31st Oct 2026 in Green)👽
Well this has got a lot of you beat, hidden means hidden, on the 4 Cul de Sac posts, each link have been found only a couple of times. I could just add the link in the comments on these posts. But no what I'll do is say where the links are and on future posts you will have an idea where to look on the posts for the link. 6 people found the hidden link on the Cuddly Toys Post. But will add the location in the comments on this post as well.
They are not hidden on images or punctuation mark or letters, look at the gaps, between punctuation and letters and you will find them. Well the King Tubby one is as it happens. But all the rest are on gaps between words.
It's pointless for me to take the time to post just for a couple of downloads per post. But the funny thing is the King Tubby post has 22 downloads (so many have found the link), and I know if I had posted the link for this in the comments there would have been 50+ downloads, go figure!!
So I won't tell you where the link is on that post, look on the Cul de Sac posts once I disclose the where abouts of the links, it will give you an idea where to look in the future.
Sorry but for now the hidden links are going to stay!! Stops the grabbers. If they work at it they are welcome to the link.
So it's looks like your getting the hang of discovering the links hidden on my posts. Which is good, there will be no more comments telling you where the links are on the posts or links in the comments. The King Tubby has been downloaded over 30 times. But if you can't find the hidden link on a post then email the site and I'll give you a clue where to look or send you the link via a return email.
