King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown

by Augustus Pablo

The 1364th greatest album of all time

King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown is a 1976 dub album by Augustus Pablo, mixed by King Tubby. It pairs Pablo’s signature melodica and keyboard lines with Tubby’s deep, echo-heavy studio techniques, foregrounding bass, space, and reverb. The album is a seminal example of roots reggae dub, notable for its atmospheric, instrumental approach that treats the mixing desk as an active creative element.
