This is a Lee Library classic selection. From the original cassette-only Lee Library collection! I'm talking Motorhead, Yngwie, X, old R.E.M, Eek-a-Mouse, Ozzy, Bad Brains, Black Flag, Steel Pulse etc.

These two Augustus Pablo tapes were highly influential to my musical development. They are two classic masterpieces; everyone needs to know how superb a musician, producer and songwriter Augustus Pablo really was. RIP Dr. Pablo.

Rastafari.

(review from AMG):
The best of the pure instrumental albums in Pablo's catalog, East of the River Nile finds the melodica master stretching out on various keyboards and strings as well on earthy, meditative tracks like "Chant to King Selassie I," "Jah Light," and "Natural Way." Though this is explicitly a non-dub occasion, "Natural Way" does get its own version with "Nature Dub." ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

1 Chant To King Selassie I
