This is the new 20th anniversary edition of one of Soul Jazz Records’ classic Studio One releases, now available as a one-off special blue vinyl limited-edition pressing (2000 copies worldwide).
A sublime set of roots, vocal and dubbed out instrumental magic, Close Encounters Of The Third World is a real lost gem in the treasure-filled Creation Rebel back catalogue.
Recorded with Sly & Robbie at Channel One Studio and mixed at King Tubby's, the album features hypnotic basslines, reverb-drenched keyboards, and fluid, start-stop rhythms.
King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown (1976) is a landmark dub album by Augustus Pablo and King Tubby, layering echo, reverb, and deep bass to transform roots reggae into a spacious, hypnotic soundscape that defined the genre.
The Mystic World of Augustus Pablo: Crucial Cuts is a compilation of 12 killer tracks drawn from the acclaimed compilation The Mystic World of Augustus Pablo: The Rockers Story.
