The Cobbs - Joe Gibbs Mood / Hot Buttered Corn 7"
SKU: HSRSS0007Description:
The mysterious and hugely talented COBBS recorded only
four instrumental tracks in 1969. These 4 tracks were produced
by Joe Gibbs - in his recording studio in Kingston, Jamaica. They
were initially published on the Amalgamated Records label in the
UK in 1969 on 4 distinct 45ers shared with other artists
from the label.
As a band, The Cobbs are virtually unknown today but its members
were in fact the creme de la creme of Jamaican musicians at the
time. All four were members of the Revolutionaries, the
1970s Channel One studio band. Check this line-up: Sly Dunbar:
Drums, Rad Bryan: Guitar, Ranchie McLean: Bass
and Ansel Collins: Keyboards
With such musicianship, it is really unfortunate that only 4 songs,
all instrumentals and all cracking tracks, were ever recorded by
The Cobbs. Their compositions were distinctly creative, driven by a
big organ sound, heavy rhythms and an unstoppable
energy.  Unknown and underrated, The Cobbs were a
formidable Reggae powerhouse for a short time at the end of the
60s. Many thanks to Ansel Collins for providing the
information regarding The Cobbs line-up...
