  • Description

    A transcendent album which captures a real moment in time & space, ‘Original Rockers’ is the quintessential Augustus Pablo LP. Expertly compiled by the late, great Dave Hendley, who at the time was really pivotal in chronicling authentic Jamaican music through his work as both a journalist and photographer. ‘Original Rockers’ is a showcase of Pablo’s work from 1972-75, a period which was particularly fruitful for Pablo and his ‘Far East Sound’, especially as the tracks were mixed at the great King Tubby’s studio by the King himself.
