Augustus Pablo is a legendary figure in reggae music, and as an artist and producer one of the main architects of dub music and creator of two of the top 100 reggae albums of all time according to Rolling Stone: King Tubby's Meets Rockers Uptown and East of The River Nile.
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 and includes such classic singles as "East of the River Nile" and "King Tubby's Meets Rockers Uptown," and wonderful rarities such as Paul Blackman's "Earth, Wind & Fire" and Earl Sixteen's "Changing World." With a mix of dubs, instrumental works and vocal tracks Pablo produced on singers, this compilation is the perfect introduction to Pablo's music and arguably the best single disc representation of his genius.
