Agustus Pablo, one of the most important figures in popularizing the melodica as a reggae instrument, and establishing the dub format by his 1976 project with King Tubby, King Tubbys meets Rockers Uptown, released this album in 1979. The album was mixed by King Tubby's Studio engineers including King Tubby, Prince Jammy and Philip Smart. "Chinna" Smith, and other Channel One musicians, Pablo's playing is very good, with a floating melodica, organ, piano, and clavinet backed by the laid-back rhythms of Robbie Shakespeare, Earl "Chinna" Smith, and the rest of the Channel One musicians. The A side/B side labels are reversed.
