Augustus Pablo “City of David,” “Iggy Iggy,” “Soul Vibration” and more

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.”

“Soul Vibration” is actually credited to ‘The Teacher,’ however, it appears to use a Chin-Loy/Pablo riddim from their early collaborations at Aquarius.

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.
