Jacob Miller & The Inner Circle Band & Augustus Pablo : Culture Press
This disc should be considered a compilation of the seventies Jacob Miller with The Inner Circle Band. It was a CD release from Culture Press in 1992 and again in 1998. With fifteen tracks total, most of them are selections featuring the talents of Augustus Pablo as musician and/or producer. Tommy Cowan is labeled with producer credits as well. Pablo's contributions along with the brilliance of Inner Circle front man Jacob Miller make this a nice compilation disc to feature in your collection. The liner notes are simple ; only listing the musicians, tracks names, and durations. There's a nice combination of Miller vocal tracks and Pablo melodica versions as alternate tracks on some of the classics like : track #3 & #4 (Ala-ala-bama / Eli's Move) and tracks #7 & #8 (Curly Locks / Curly Locks Dub). The track I enjoy the most on this one is track #1 (Curfew), a great version of the Marley sung tune. All together this disc serves as a pretty good seventies roots compilation, although some of the tracks might cross over on other discs you have by these artists.
