Remastered edition of the 1979 dub version of The Africa Must Be Free By 1983 Album. Produced by Augustus Pablo. If Hugh Mundell had lived past, ironically, 1983, there's no telling what his legacy would be today. 'Africa must be free by 1983' is simply one of the most remarkable debuts in the history of reggae, considering Mundell was only 16 when it was released. Guided by the adept hands of Augustus Pablo, he wrote and co-produced all of the songs on this powerful classic. The potent roots melodies and emotional vocals provided by this prodigy blend beautifully with the robust musical accompaniment from an all-star line-up (robbie shakespeare, jacob miller, leroy sibbles, augustus pablo, earl 'chinna' smith, leroy 'horsemouth' wallace, carlton 'santa' davis, and more). Although Augustus Pablo's rockers sound runs throughout the dubs (fans will certainly recognize the music in 'book of life' and its dub from jacob miller's 'keep on knocking'), he doesn't dominate them with his trademark melodica, allowing mundell to retain his identity. Some of the dubs are better than the vocal versions - for instance the dubs of 'jah will provide', 'run revolution a come' and 'day of judgement'.
