Title: Scientist – Scientific Dub
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1981, Reggae, Dub, Kingston, Jamaica
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Studio Lore: Hopeton “Scientist” Brown came up as a teen tech at King Tubby’s—winding transformer coils and learning electronics before he was trusted at the desk.

  2. Legal Trouble: After Tubby’s death, Scientist publicly complained about mixes being pirated/misattributed under Tubby’s name—credits and money getting rewritten.

  3. Scene Ecology: 1981 was his peak-output year—dub LPs sold with the mixer’s name on the cover, treating the engineer like the star.
