Description: | Visionary artist Augustus Pablo is among the most important figures in reggae history. Widely
credited with popularizing the use of the melodica in reggae, Pablo was a talented musician and an
innovative producer who became an early dub pioneer. Now regarded as classics, his memorable
1970s recordings were part of the remarkable creative surge that vaulted the Jamaican music scene
to international prominence. Much of this material was released by Rockers, an independent
record label founded by Pablo and named after his popular Kingston sound system. Now, Nature
Sounds is proud to present Roots, Rockers, & Dub, a new Augustus Pablo vinyl collection celebrating
the 50th anniversary of Rockers. Featuring classic dubs along with rare and out-of-print tracks, the
album captures PabloĆs immense contribution to roots reggae by highlighting a wealth of material
spanning his entire career, all released on Rockers. Fully remastered and released in partnership
with the Pablo family, Roots, Rockers, & Dub is a fitting tribute to an artist whose music still
reverberates heavily more than two decades after his passing. - Only tracks 10 and 11 have not been re-released recently."Roots Rockers & Dub" is a captivating CD release by the legendary Augustus Pablo, brought to you by Nature Sounds.
