If you've never heard of Pablo Gad you should pick up this album and give yourself a nice surprise. Pablo Gad is an underground reggae great that started recording in England, late in the 1970's. Being talented as both singer and deejay, he's got a captivating vocal style and it seems his heart can be felt through his words. This album is simply called "The Best of Pablo Gad" and was released in 1993 from the Reggae on Top label. It has 10 tracks total. Four are "disco-mixes" or extended versions and three tracks are directly followed by the dub version. My favorites tracks on this one are #1 (Blood Sucker-extended version), #2 ( Oh Jah), #5+6 (Hard Times + Dub Version), and finally #9 (Beggar Man Child) which has a haunting, plodding beat and a great muted horn section in the background. Pablo Gad only dropped a handful of material for us, but check it out and take it all in. 5/11/08
