NEW REISSUE

France-based Only Roots has reissued Augustus Pablo’s classic deep dub roots album Rockers Meets King Tubbys In A Firehouse on black vinyl. Originally released in 1980 on Yard Music in Jamaica and Shanachie in the US, the 9-track album features the Rocking All Stars consisting of Mickey “Boo” Richards, Leroy “Horsemouth” Wallace and Albert Malawi on drums, Robbie Shakespeare on bass, and Earl “Chinna” Smith on guitar. Augustus Pablo himself produced the album and played piano, organ and melodica. Besides King Tubby, Prince Jammy also made contributions but goes uncredited.
