About
This spine-rattling 1976 LP by Jamaican studio trailblazer King Tubby and producer/melodica player Augustus Pablo is the milestone dub album by which all others are judged. The unstoppable title tune—a dubbed-out version of Jacob Miller’s “Baby I Love You So”—is filled with persuasive power and vibe; the repetitive hooks rise out of deceptively simple sonic textures and keen ensemble playing. The entire album shimmers with similar hypnotic rhythms, from the opening tune (“Keep on Dubbing”) to the finale (“Satta Dub”).
