Album Notes & Community Reviews

Considered an absolute holy grail of the genre, this landmark collaboration brilliantly showcases King Tubby's revolutionary mixing techniques dismantling Augustus Pablo's melodica-driven roots reggae. 'King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown' is an incredibly warm, deeply atmospheric dub classic, defined by intensely rhythmic, endlessly hypnotic tape echoes and profound psychedelic spaciousness.
