Augustus Pablo - Augustus Pablo Meets Lee Perry & The Wailers (Rare Dubs 1970-1971) '2013

Tracks list

The mighty Lee Perry was the producer many have said, that enticed the best
work, both socially, politically and lest we forget musically from Bob Marley
and the Wailers Band. This was in no short terms aided by the excellent
musicians that would mutate from Lee Perry’s own studio band The
Upsetters into what would become The Wailers band itself.

This set of musicians originally grew out of a group called The Hippy Boys. The
core of which consisted of Glenroy Adams on keyboards, Alva
‘Reggie’ Lewis on guitar and brothers Carlton and Aston
‘Familyman’ Barrett on drums and bass respectively. This quartet
played on most of the Lee Perry produced Wailers material recorded between 1970
and 1971. When in 1972 Bob Marley needed to put together a touring band to
promote his work in Europe the Barrett brothers left and became an integral part
of the Wailers band. So, this link between The Upsetters and the Wailers band
would under the guidance of Lee Perry produce an outstanding body of music.
Recorded at Randy’s Studio 17, as at the time Lee Perry did not have a
studio of his own, but on checking out the various studio’s available,
opted for Studio 17, liking the vibes it transmitted.

We have unearthed from this selection of work some rare dubs featuring the
fabulous melodica playing of Mr Augustus Pablo, playing over these classic
rhythms and adding a haunting additional feel to these already iconic tunes. On
their initial release Lee Perry recognising the strength of the rhythm tracks,
planned to release the vocal cuts as one album and the instrumental versions as
another release. We at Jamaican Recordings believing in all thing’s
rhythm, also think that these cuts in their dubbed form, with the additional
flavour of some fine melodica playing, deserved to be listened to in their own
right.

Respect Jah Floyd.
