If landmark records that are kinda remixes and also kinda historically murky are your jams, then look no further. The EarWax crew has you covered this week, chopping it up about the dub classic King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown.

Cody and Hilary discuss very pressing matters such as the various Augustus Pablos, the coolness of names (and there are plenty of cool names on this album), and the unbelievable genius that was King Tubby.

This record is on the ground floor of remixing culture, and its influence has spread far, far beyond reggae/dub. The players on the master tapes that Augustus Pablo brought in are a laundry list legends in the scene. To have them all on one album, and throw in King Tubbys immense talent as well...man, what an embarrassment of riches!
