Boris Gardiner enjoyed great success leading bands, issuing albums that mixed reggae, ska, soul and funk, and collaborating with the likes of Lee (Scratch) Perry and Herman Chin-Loy in their legendary studios and playing on hundreds of records. So many that he lost count. Sometime around the issue of his Boris Gardiner Happening Is What\u2019s Happening album &#8211; a Loft classic, with David Mancuso favoring Gardiner\u2019s take of Booker T. and the MG\u2019s \u201cMelting Pot\u201d at his legendary gathering &#8211; and his soundtrack to Every N&#8212;-r Is A Star, famously sampled by Kendrick Lamar and used as the introduction to the film Moonlight, two albums &#8211; Ultra Super Dub Vols. 1 and 2 &#8211; credited to The Boris Gardiner Happening &#8211; two albums so obscure that for the longest time Boris wasn\u2019t even aware that they existed. Following classics such as King Tubby\u2019s Dub From the Roots and Augustus Pablo\u2019s King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown, Miami-based Alty East\u2019s Ultra Records took instrumentals Gardiner created for a run of 45s, and created and issued these compilations of dubbed out originals and JA renditions of songs by Otis Redding, Clarence Carter, Betty Wright, Jimmy \u201cBo\u201d Horne and Ultra label-mate Frankie Zhivago Young. Released in tiny runs in handmade, silkscreened, paste-on covers, they have become some of the most sought after Jamaican albums. Now, issued under Boris\u2019 guidance, and with a detailed booklet by Jeff Mao, which delves into the deep scene which birthed these remarkable records, we can finally consider the last, unheard portion of this landmark musician\u2019s career.<\/p>\n<p>Tracklist:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ng-star-inserted\">01.
