Augustus Pablo "Original Rockers"

Someone asked me to post my favorite dub album. Granted I can't say that I listen to copious amounts of dub. I prefer dub versions that still use the vocals versus just straight instrumental only dub. It makes the song have that haunting vibe when they delay the vocal parts of the tune.

Also if you listen to a lot of dub you'll notice that sometimes you can hear a really low level track of vocals in the background. Now if you're hitting the chalice too much you might just think you're hearing things, but I think it is actually due to the fact that most Jamaican studios had only 4 tracks to mix with so if you were trying to use just the bass or drums track you could still hear the singer in the background because they were limited on the number of tracks.

Yeah, I'm that much of f*cking reggae nerd. Sad.

Now this pick may seem like a cop out because it's a no brainer for a dub album, but I think it's because it is simply just so good.

Enjoy.

Augustus Pablo "Original Rockers"

Jacob Miller

Recorded between 1974-75 this album is considered Jacob Miller's best roots effort in his catalogue. No doubt that this was largely due from Augustus Pablo's epic production.

I've been on a serious Jacob Miller kick lately and this is easily my favorite LP of his. I personally think Augustus Pablo brings out the best in singers.

Don't be fooled in thinking this is a proper album being that it is only 6 actual tracks with the accompanying dub versions. Jacob Miller would die only 5 years after these sessions in a freak car accident. Nine years after that King Tubby would be murdered outside his studio and 10 years after that Augustus Pablo would die.

1. Keep On Knocking
2. Knocking Version
