As a talented radio repairman, Tubby soon found himself in great demand by most of the major sound systems of Kingston, as the tropical weather of the Caribbean island, (often combined with sabotage by rival sound system owners) led to malfunctions and equipment failure. Tubby owned an electrical repair shop on Drumalie Avenue, Kingston, that fixed televisions and radios. It was here that he built large amplifiers for the local sound systems. In 1961/62 he built his own radio transmitter and briefly ran a private radio station playing ska and rhythm and blues which he soon shut down when he heard that the police were looking for the perpetrators.[3] Tubby would eventually form his own sound system, Tubby's Hometown Hi-Fi, in 1958.[4] It became a crowd favourite due to the high quality sound of his equipment, exclusive releases and Tubby's own echo and reverb sound effects, at that point something of a novelty. Biografía La carrera musical de King Tubby comenzó en los años 1950 a medida que la escena de sound systems se iba haciendo progresivamente popular en Jamaica. Gracias a su talento reparando radios, Tubby encontró pronto que sus aptitudes eran muy demandadas por la mayoría de los principales sound systems de Kingston, ya que el clima tropical de la isla caribeña, junto a los actos de sabotaje cometidos por sound systems rivales, llevaban frecuentemente a averías y fallos de los equipos que requerían de arreglo. Tubby poseía una tienda de reparaciones electrónicas en Drumalie Avenue, Kingston, donde reparaba televisiones y radios. Es aquí donde comenzó a construir grandes amplificadores para los sound systems locales. En un momento dado, Tubby formó su propio sound system, Tubby's Hometown Hi-Fi, que se convirtió en uno de los favoritos de la gente gracias a la gran calidad de su equipo, los temas exclusivos y los efectos de sonido que el ingeniero introducía. ********************************************** For more videos go to: Para más videos ir a : https://www.youtube.com/user/morado2007/videos?view=0&flow;=grid
