NEW REVIEW:
Tetrack / Augustus Pablo - Let's Get Started / Eastman Dub
Label: Greensleeves | Format: CD-LP-DR | Street date: June 22, 2018 |
The group Tetrack was formed in 1972 by childhood friends Paul Mangaroo, Dave Harvey, and Carlton Hines, then living near Wareika Hills in East Kingston. They took their unusual - but distinctive - name from a sound system in their area, called 'Tetrack Hi-Fi'. The vocal trio came into contact with the iconic producer and (keyboardist) musician Augustus Pablo in 1974, for whom they started recording songs. This resulted in this debut album, called "Let's Get Started", eventually released in 1980. The first recording was the nice semi-cover "Let's Get Together", at Lee "Scratch" Perry's Black Ark, followed by other songs ending up on this album.
The CD version includes Augustus Pablo’s monumental album of dub versions, called "Eastman Dub".
