This is known as one of the definitive Augustus Pablo albums in his extensive catalog of work. The tunes on this one were mostly recorded from 1972 to 1975 and feature work with Clive Chin and King Tubby. It's original release was 1979, my copy of this disc is a 1991 Shanachie with 10 tracks total. My favorites on this one are #2 (Up Warrika Hill), #3 (Cassava Piece), and #4 (Tubby's Dub Song). This disc is a good mix of dub and instrumental tracks. This is definitely the Original Rockers and I can see how many Pablo CD's have been spin-offs from different labels and engineers, but the original is the best.
