Earlier this week, the venerable 1001 Songs posted an utterly indispensable Augustus Pablo classic, which I highly recommend that you check out here - your week just isn't complete without it. This got me rummaging around for a choice Pablo cut to feature back here at my place. When it came down to it, one tune stuck out above the rest, 'Vibrate Onn', recorded with The Upsetters at the Black Ark in the Summer of 1977. There are a number of subtly different mixes available of this dense, far-out piece of oddness, but this particular uploader has kindly extended the blissful experience by appending the equally groovy flipside, 'Dub Onn'.

Saturday Scratch #48 - Augustus Pablo
Saturday Scratch, an occasional series that
shines a light on a selection with a Lee
'Scratch' Perry connection.

Top choice and always a favourite with some of us at Bear Towers (i.e. me).
As singing bear said.
What a nice way to start my Sunday!
Tis indeed a fine slice of tuneage. I must return to Saturday Scratch more often.
