Augustus Pablo reissued by Greensleeves

Greensleeves reissues Augustus Pablo's classic album Original Rockers. Pablo is the master of melodica and one of the most revered talents in reggae music. Greensleeves originally released the LP in 1979 and hand picked Pablo's best self-productions from his early days between (1972-75) - mostly consisting of well-received instrumentals and versions of older hits from Studio One. Original Rockers boasts Pablo's haunting melodica and includes flashes of his dub inspiration on standouts like "Rocker's Dub" and "Tubby's "Dub Song." The album is recorded in the legendary studio of the great reggae producer King Tubby. Reggae all-stars like guitarist Earl Chinna Smith, bassists Robbie Shakespeare and Aston Barrett and select vocalists like Dillinger and Hugh Mundell all shine on this collection.

To celebrate the release, his daughter and DJ, Isis Pablo, will host listening sessions in New York and Florida in February. She will play select songs from the album interspersed with influential and inspired tracks that complement her father's sound.
