Description
The Lost Sound of Augustus PabloAvailable for the first time ever on vinyl, Roots Vibes returns in a newly remastered 30th Anniversary Edition, unveiling a rare collection of recordings from reggae pioneer Bunny ""Striker"" Lee, shaped by Augustus Pablo's unmistakable Far East sound.A deep excursion into fourteen heavyweight instrumental and dub recordings spanning 1972 to 1992, the album is anchored by timeless Jamaican riddims and Pablo's haunting melodica melodies, carried by the rock-solid pulse of The Aggrovators and masterfully mixed by King Tubby, Prince Jammy, Phillip Smart and Pat Kelly.Cut at Kingston's most revered studios-Randy's Studio 17, Treasure Isle, Dynamic Sounds, Channel One and Harry J Studios-these recordings embody the golden age of reggae and dub. Built on classic rhythms first immortalised by artists including The Eternals, Prince Buster, John Holt, Ken Boothe and Don Drummond, Bunny Lee's signature approach of reinventing proven riddims is transformed by Pablo's deeply spiritual playing into something entirely his own.More than three decades after it's original release, Roots Vibes remains a compelling showcase of Augustus Pablo's singular artistry and a lasting testament to one of reggae's most visionary musicians.
