Visionary artist Augustus Pablo is among the most important figures in reggae history. Widely credited with popularizing the use of the melodica in reggae Pablo was a talented musician and an innovative producer who became an early dub pioneer. Now regarded as classics his memorable 1970s recordings were part of the remarkable creative surge that vaulted the Jamaican music scene to international prominence. Much of this material was released by Rockers an independent record label founded by Pablo and named after his popular Kingston sound system. Now Nature Sounds is proud to present Roots Rockers & Dub a new Augustus Pablo vinyl collection celebrating the 50th anniversary of Rockers. Featuring classic dubs along with rare and out-of-print tracks the album captures Pabloís immense contribution to roots reggae by highlighting a wealth of material spanning his entire career all released on Rockers. Fully remastered and released in partnership with the Pablo family Roots Rockers & Dub is a fitting tribute to an artist whose music still reverberates heavily more than two decades after his passing.
