"Forward Jackson, backward Coxsone !" intones Augustus Pablo on the intro to the formidable "Rockers Dub", Pablo's sound boy dub plate version of "Frozen Dub", itself a do-over of the Soul Vendors Studio One instrumental classic "Frozen Soul". Pablo had attended a fruitless session at Coxsone Dodd's Brentford Road studio whilst an unknown aspiring session musician. Coxsone habitually referred to anyone as "Jackson", Pablo's obvious admiration for Dodd's legendary productions led him to rework many of them in the new
"rockers" style he and the other "rebel" producers were forging, and "Rockers Dub" was obviously aimed straight at Coxsone's head ! A treat from start to finish, included are full instrumental cuts to "Cassava Piece", "Up Warreika Hill" and "Pablo's Theme Song", Jacob Miller's "Who Say Jah No Dread", Hugh Mundell's "Africa Must Be Free By 1983" and Horace Andy's "Ain't No Sunshine", plus Dillinger's sound boy challenge "Brace A Boy" and its beautiful xylophone version "A.P. Special". Compiled by Chris Lane and Dave Hendley it's the perfect compliment to "King Tubby Meets The Rockers Uptown" and is needless to say essential.
