With tons of Augustus Pablo music in the marketplace, I've decided to use this disc as a simple introduction to those of you who aren't familiar. This CD was released in '92 by the Rockers label, but the vinyl has been around much longer. Mostly classic Augustus cuts, my favorites on this disc are #8 (Islington Rock) and #4 ( New Lots Express) which is a perfect example of the haunting effect Pablo can produce with his melodica. This disc also includes a Satta version and an All-Star lineup of featured musicians: Robbie Shakespeare, Santa Davis, Tommy McCook, and Chinna Smith. Only ten songs total on this one makes it short but sweet.
