Scientist
The Dub Album They Didn't Want You To Hear
Dub album of Flick Wilson's 'School Days.' Recorded at Channel 1. Voiced and mixed at King Tubby's. Hopeton Brown better known as Scientist and sometimes known as Overton Brown, from Kingston, Jamaica was a protégé of King Tubby (Osbourne Ruddock), one of the originators of dub music. The Scientist burst onto the reggae scene in the mid '70s with a reckless mixing style that seemed to outdo even King Tubby's wildest extravaganzas. He began his career as an engineer at Studio One and soon after at Tubby's in the late 70's. Shortly afterwards, he gained a reputation with a distinctive mixing style.
