The Legend - Various Artists,
Atra Disc 1980



















On Atra Disc we find an LP with some of the finest of
reggae artists. It opens with 4 tracks by the great Augustus
Pablo. The genius and his melodica. I usually prefer songs
but Augustus' instrumentals make a big exeption. All numbers
are backed by these swell musicians; Thin Legs-Carlton Barret
on drums, Family Man on Bass, Leroy Sibbles - rhythm guitar
and Ossie Hirbert on organ. Only track #6 is backed by 'Umojo
Group'. Love that Max Romeo song, 'Crime does not pay',
and how about I Roy singing: "Ya Ya Yahama"...

tracks;

1 Augustus Pablo - Pablo in dub
2 Augustus Pablo - Hap ki do
3 Augustus Pablo - Lovers mood
4 Augustus Pablo - Palace of peace
5 Big Joe - Jah guide
6 Freddy McKay - I'm a free man
7 Horace Andy - Children of Israel
8 Max Romeo - Crime does not pay
9 I Roy - Yamaha ride
10 Horace Andy - Problems
