Vibrate On Riddim – Unknown Label

Released in 1976 and produced by Lee Scratch Perry, Vibrate On pulls together Augustus Pablo with Perry and The Upsetters on a compact, dub-heavy set issued under an unknown label. The tracklist centers on Vibrate On, with Lee Scratch Perry’s Ashes And Dust and The Upsetters’ Vibrator rounding out the release, and the title tune also turning up in Augustus Pablo’s Black Ark-era catalog. Perry’s role here fits neatly into his mid-1970s run at the Black Ark, where he was shaping some of his most distinctive roots and dub work.
