Here is an interesting clipping fom the August 20, 1979 issue of the Gleaner.

Here’s a great spread about Lloyd “BullWackie” Barnes that appeared in the April 12, 2009 issue of the New York Times.
Here are some crucial cuts from Augustus Pablo. From the ‘Earth Rightful Ruler’ LP we have “City of David” and from the ‘Red Sea’ album we have “Iggy, Iggy” and “Soul Vibration.”

And here we have several outstanding articles about Pablo from a host of different sources and writers. CLICK HERE to read these articles in the digital document library.
