Rockers Rock
Augustus Pablo · 1989Recorded in 1989 for Original Rockers Vol. 2, with Augustus Pablo credited as producer and engineer across sessions at Dynamic Sounds, King Tubby’s, Studio 17, Harry J, and Black Ark in Kingston. The track sits among Pablo’s late-era Rockers recordings and features his keyboard and melodica-led dub approach. It appeared on Original Rockers Vol. 2, a 1989 Rockers release that gathered Pablo’s core dub material for a late-period showcase. The track reinforced his status as one of reggae’s defining producers and instrumental innovators. The track remained in circulation through later compilations and reissues, including inclusion on Soul Jazz’s 200% Dynamite series. That continued anthology use kept it in front of new listeners and underscored Pablo’s lasting influence on dub and roots reggae.
