By the time he released Ital Dub in 1975, Augustus Pablo was already a household name in Jamaica. He was fresh off the success of his album Rebel Rock Reggae, and about to enter the most prolific period of his career with legendary dub engineer King Tubby, this being their first collaboration. After producing top quality reissues from Lee "Scratch" Perry and King Tubby, here's another Jamaican dub classic, featuring a new digital audio transfer from the original analog tapes. Tip!

Recorded and mixed by Tubby at his studio, Ital Dub, produced by Tommy Cowan and Warwick
Lyn, features Pablo lending his signature melodica work to originals ("Eli's Move," "Shake Up") and covers from Bob Marley ("Rebel Music," "Natty Dread"), Peter Tosh ("Funeral") and Junior Byles ("Curly Locks," "Irie Feelings").
