The History of the sound system and how it came about and where it all started
The History of the sound system....
As i pack away my records cd's and laptop away from another busy night on the town im just thinking about where to store my 16 sub woofer speakers as the garage is at its full capacity. . I am also wondering how this sound system thing came about and why did they not have smaller speakers???
What Is A Sound System?
What is a ‘Sound System’? How does it differ from a normal mobile DJ or a Club PA System?
I would define a ‘Sound’ is a super-amplified mobile system, invariably called by a name, manned by a team of individuals, each having real skills, who together create a unique party vibe wherever they set up and play recorded music of their choice.
UK History
With the migration of Jamaicans to the UK in the late 50’s & 60’s the tradition of ‘Sound Systems’ was also exported. Early UK ‘Sound System’ operators like the aformentioned Duke Vin, Count Shelly, Count Suckle, Lloyd Coxsone, & East London’s ‘Chicken’, each had a huge following and from these early sounds developed many new ones encompassing new ideas and directions. The concept of a ‘Soul Sound’ or ‘Roadshow’ was developed in the 70’s, by the likes of Mastermind (originally a ‘Reggae Sound’ called the Mighty Conquerer who changed policy to play Soul/Funk/Disco & later Electro & Hip-Hop music) TWJ, Roxy, Soul Incorporated, Good Times, Freshbeat & Rapattack. Interestingly, ‘Rampage ‘Sound’ who popularised ‘Swingbeat’ in the early 90’s, added a profitable dimension to this concept and made it a business venture by playing on club systems and ‘hiring in’ a ‘Sound System’ when needed. All these and many more ‘Sounds’ brought their own style & ideas to the discipline including using professional purpose built PA gear (Electrovoice, Turbosound, ASS, JBL speakers and amplifiers such as Crest & Crown & not forgetting Technics 1200/1210 turntables) as opposed to home made equipment,
Origin & Background
The concept of a Sound System originated in Jamaica during the 1950’s. The idea arguably came from Jamaicans going back and forth to the USA during the 40’s & 50’s and being bowled over hearing American R&B bands playing through PA Systems. This was then taken back to Jamaica, but as bands were expensive to hire, poor Jamaicans played recordings through these early ‘Sound Systems’ which were very rough compared to the ‘Sound Systems’ they saw in America. They consisted of a turntable, a home built valve amplifier & pre-amp (from a kit) and the biggest speakers they could lay their hands on, mounted in home made ‘wardrobe’ sized speaker cabinets,which were stored in garages, and for some of the bigger sounds they needed to find storage in London By the late 50’s early 60’s these sounds had become more sophisticated and high powered. The early ‘Sound System’ operators were already legendary figures and played at very well attended dances, some on the open air ‘lawns’, the real home of Sound Systemology! Men such as ‘Tom’ The Great Sabastian, Coxsone Dodd, Duke Reid, Prince Buster & Duke Vin who later started the first Sound System in the UK, developed the idea by not just playing records but opening studio’s and producing local artists and releasing tunes on their own label - the early Ska (a Jamaican interpretation of popular American R&B music) then later Rocksteady & Reggae music.
Ironically this returns to the origin of Sound Systems being initially a ‘homemade’ version of a PA System.
During the 70’s & 80’s every area of London & every City with a West Indian population had their own crop of ‘Sounds’. Historically it was important to ‘build a ‘Sound’, one man (it was mainly men in those days) would mainly buy music, another has an interest in
electronics
and one liked to MC – ‘talk on the mike’. While a young member or apprentice was learning about the equipment and how to ‘play a sound’ (which means; although you are using recorded music, the effect is of it being ‘live’) he would have the status of a ‘box boy’ his particular job was to lift the heavy speaker boxes at the end of the night!‘ Sound men’ took pride in this achievement, to the point of Sound Systems challenging each other to a competition or ‘clash’ where each ‘Sound’ sought to win over the crowd at a dance by any means such as playing an exclusive record or one off pressing of a tune by a well known artist (a dub plate – UK Garage DJ’s, does this sound familiar?), or the verve of the ‘mike men’ (Saxon had some of the best which in conjunction with their vast knowledge of reggae music helped them win the ‘World Sound Clash’) or sometimes, turning up the bass and ‘drowning out’ the other Sound! The Sound System world has it’s wealth of stories of rivalry and within this it’s ‘villains & heroes’ to rival any from the corporate world.
