Augustus Pablo - Classic Rockers: 8 (A-)

 

Review is for the above 1987 original version. When it was re-released on CD, they added the track "King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown," from an album everyone should already have. They also swapped "Love Won't Come Easy" by Leroy Sibbles for "Just as Long" by Horace Andy, and added six really not as good songs (two of them dub versions of the same songs, right after the main ones). In other words, they ruined it. The original vinyl is ridiculously expensive, otherwise I'd buy it. The main track I miss is "Earth wind and fire," which is outstanding. The CD cover looks like this:


Even the cover is notably inferior. What a waste.
