Celebrating 50 years in true style, this strictly roots 1975 dub classic returns on translucent red vinyl - where Tommy McCook's smooth fire sax rides the heavyweight riddims of the Aggravators, deep-cut produced by reggae powerhouses Bunny Lee and King Tubby.
Tommy McCook, one of reggae's most revered saxophonists, was a driving force behind the sound of Jamaican music. As an original member of The Skatalites and later a key figure in the Supersonics, McCook helped shape the development of ska, rocksteady, and early reggae. His signature, smooth yet sharp saxophone lines became synonymous with the genre, lending a sense of sophistication and warmth that could be felt in every note
On Brass Rockers, McCook's sax takes center stage, with the backing of the mighty Aggravators - a band known for their heavy, rhythmic precision. This album was crafted by the legendary duo of producer Bunny Lee and sound engineer King Tubby, whose partnership created some of the most innovative and influential music in reggae history.
