Addis Pablo and sister Isis have revived the iconic 'Rockers' store on Kingston’s Orange Street. Howard Campbell reports on this "sanctuary" for Augustus Pablo’s legacy, featuring a new sound system and history of the 'Java' mystic. A must-read for fans of 'King Tubbys Meets The Rockers Uptown'.

Tough choices all round. You can't please all the people all the time, even those who are putting it together! 😂

I always enjoy reading these pen portraits of songs and artists and always learn something new.

Don't know. That's a new one to me. Can't even place the voice. 🤷‍♂️

Yes that is a great cover, front and back! I don't know this LP but it has all the right ingredients. Recorded at Channel One with Roots Radics and mixed by Scientist. Perfect!

Looking on discogs it only came out in the US at the time, but was recently reissued.
