Start your year off in perfectly horizontal fashion with this welcome reissue of Augustus Pablo's classic "East Of The River Nile" from 1977. The purely instrumental album spotlights Pablo's famous ability on the melodica, as well as various other retro keyboards that dazzle and shine over the earthy reggae rhythms. The Jamaican called in high profile guests like Bob Marley's backing band The Wailers to help lay down these grooves, and both King Tubby and Lee "Scratch" Perry were involved in the mixing. As such, it's a truly heavyweight offering that should be part of any self-respecting reggae lover's collection.
