Recorded at the original Randy's Studio and the old Joe Gibbs Studio in Jamaica 1969-1976.

Winston Niney (the Observer) Holness, headed the new rebel vanguard of Jamaican producers in the '70's and '80s. He was known for his sparse simplicity, heavy bass, and roots cultural and rasta sentiment.

He acheived his greatest successes as producer for vocalist Dennis Brown. And the dub-treated rhythm tracks for these #1 hit songs for Dennis are here archived and given an updated dub mixing by Niney himself, along with Fatta. These are the real thing - the old time acoustic dubs. A must by for Niney fans and dub nuts!

"The result is a lively collection of warm, slightly muddy acoustic tracks broken up by Niney's exuberant remarks, e.g. 'This one is Changing Moods Dub/So whether you like it or not, I'm gonna change your mood!'" - Huh
