Augustus Pablo Presents Rockers International (2015)


"Originally issued as two separate album releases this 2CD remastered edition collects up 28 Augustus Pablo classic from the golden age of Rockers. Melodica masterpieces, deep dubs and classic vocal sides from the likes of Jacob Miller, Junior Delgado, Earl Sixteen etc. all built on Augustus Pablo signature rock solid drum and bass foundations. The sound is very good--clean, warm, organic, and fairly crisp. The 10 page booklet has an essay on Pablo and the music, plus a list of musicians, a few period photos, and a list of tunes on each original album. These are the original albums with no extra tracks added. But none are really needed--Pablo's production along with King Tubby's mixing efforts make these tracks some of Pablo's best work. There's a lot to like here utilizing Pablo's production skills, and mixing by Tubby, Prince Phillip Smart, Prince Jammy, and a couple of others. Mixing was done at King Tubby's, Channel One, and Harry J's studios. ..."
