WE DO THE MASHED POTATO AND THE FUNKY CHICKEN

Augustus Pablo's First LP

Posted about 1 year ago


was recorded at Randys Studio in 1972, produced by his brother Clive "Santic" Chin, again using some of the hottest rhythms of the day, at a time when all the top musicians were cutting tunes there.

This is one of the standout tracks, although the jump towards the end is on every single copy at exactly the same place (presumably the master tape is lost). It's a version of Horace Andy's "Children of Israel" incidentally

    Please excuse my ignorance.  So the process was:

    1) Take out the vocal tracks,

    2) Dub in and out the instrument tracks, and then

    3) Play the melodica over that ?

    It might be easier if I post the original Horace Andy vocal cut, then you play them back-to-back and see how it was remixed then overdubbed

    Thanks.  So the Melodica track was laid down clean over the dub recording, right?
