πΌ π§π€π€π©π¨ ππ‘ππ¨π¨ππ π§πππͺπ© ππ§π€π’ π©ππ 1970π¨, Cool Down Rude Boy finds Johnny Osbourne in peak form, paired with a heavyweight Augustus Pablo version on the flip.
Reissued by Onlyroots on the Rockers imprint, the single captures Osbourneβs unmistakable voice riding a meditative riddim shaped by Pabloβs deep melodica tones and spacious, dubwise production. The vocal side delivers a conscious plea with spiritual urgency, while the Version strips it down to pure atmosphere and bass weight.
Cool Down Rude Boy / Version stands as an essential piece of roots reggae history, uniting two of Jamaicaβs greatest voices in one timeless release.
