"I'll tell you the truth. When you're doing works like that you never plan fe think about it... say twenty years later. I just do a work and just go through."
- Augustus Pablo
Excerpt from sleeve notes by Harry Wise.
A deeply religious man Pablo continued to follow the straight and narrow way through the eighties, a particularly testing time for conscious music, and on to the 'Rasta Renaissance' and the resurgence of roots music at the start of the following decade. But Pablo's music had no need to be reborn because, for him, the tenets and faith of roots, rock reality had never, ever gone away. His creations were not made for the here and now and always transcended the various vagaries and vogues in reggae.
By the time the first 'Presents Rockers International' album was released in 1980 his worldwide renown was assured. The Jamaican release, with the Rockers label subtitled 'Rastafari Cultural Sounds', showcased artists Pablo was currently working with and was a bold statement of where he stood in relation to the advent of the dance hall style. The UK release on Greensleeves Records came with a slightly different selection and the addition of four cuts to 'El Rocker's' from the early seventies. The second volume, dating from 1982, featured a variety of versions of classic Rockers rhythms dating from the seventies. Put together here for the first time they serve to illustrate the timeless nature of his music and remain apposite introductions to Augustus Pablo's musical vision.
He never ceased to create spiritually inspired music, guided by his unwavering Rastafarian faith, in defiance of much of the ephemeral that came and went, came and went... and eventually went.
Augustus Pablo died in Kingston on 18th May 1999. ... His music will go on for evermore.
"Give thanks for I & I Father Haile Selassie I for the inspiration for all melodies, which I & I play for His children all over His creation. Selah" Augustus Pablo
