Augustus Pablo & The Rockers All-Stars - Hungry Town Uprising

 Augustus Pablo & The Rockers All-Stars - Hungry Town Uprising. Essential Rockers International mixtape comprising Augustus Pablo productions and collaborations (some rare) between 1974 and 1988. Fully extended cuts with dubs, versions and deejay cuts. Like Sugar Minott at Black Roots, Pablo nurtured young talent, notably Junior Reid, Hugh Mundell, Ricky Grant, Icho Candy, Earl 16, Yami Bolo & White Mice. His 'far east' sound also drew in many bigger name artists, particularly in the 1970's.More killer rhythms: Love Won't Come Easy, Girl Name Pat, Cassava Piece, Mr Bassie, Artibella, Who Say Jah No Dread, Rockabye Woman, Satta. and the glorious Arise & Shine by Hugh Mundell. More cuts on the False Rasta-Hungry Town Skank. Jacob Miller revisits his Keep On Knocking hit, this time on the Hypocrites alongside U-Brown. Killer Miller's supremely positive Each One Teach One features the deejay cut from Jah Levi (Hugh Mundell).

Continuous mix. 77 minutes.

Year 2 Year 12'' Discomix Collection 1987

Year 2 Year 12'' Discomixes 1987. This series came out as a curious collection of mainly back-releases in '87 and precious little was fresh. No Jammys, no Music Works, no Techniques here... Its an eclectic mix of styles and periods, mixing up roots from the late 1970s, pre-digital dancehall and contemporary UK productions. Good listening, but hardly cutting edge at the time. Productions from Augustus Pablo, Tommy Cowan, Augustus Clarke, Willie Lindo and Kangal. 1987 contrasts sharply with the other Year-2-Year volumes in that it dips into the archives (no Jammys, no Tubbys here). Features the Winnie Mandela hit tune by Carlene Davis, interesting in retrospect...

 
 Continuous mix. Short and sweet at 33 minutes. Repost..
