The line-up varied, with Lee using the name for whichever set of musicians he was using at any time.[1][2] The band's name derived from the record shop that Lee had run in the late 1960s, Agro Sounds.[1] Alumni of the band included many musicians who later went on to make names for themselves in reggae music. Legends such as Jackie Mittoo, Sly and Robbie, Tommy McCook, and Aston Barrett were all involved with the band at one point or another. Other regular members included Carlton "Santa" Davis, Earl "Chinna" Smith, George "Fully" Fullwood, Ansel Collins, Bernard "Touter" Harvey, Tony Chin, Bobby Ellis, and Vin Gordon.[1] The band recorded Lee's most popular output from the 1970s, with the instrumental B-sides of Lee's single releases on the Jackpot and Justice labels generally credited to The Aggrovators and mixed by King Tubby.[1]

[de] The Aggrovators
The Aggrovators waren eine Dub/Reggae-Formation in den 1970ern und 1980ern, und eine Session-Band des Musikproduzenten Bunny Lee. Die Besetzung variierte, wobei Lee jedoch den Bandnamen – ungeachtet der jeweiligen Besetzung – stets beibehielt.[1][2] Die Band wurde nach dem Plattenladen Agro Sounds[1], den Lee in den späten 1960ern betrieb, benannt. Viele der ehemaligen Bandmitglieder wurden später selbst zu namhaften Reggaemusikern. Bekannte Musiker wie Jackie Mittoo, Sly and Robbie, Tommy McCook und Aston Barrett, waren ein oder mehrmals an der Band beteiligt. Andere jedoch, so etwa Carlton "Santa" Davis, Earl "Chinna" Smith, George "Fully" Fullwood, Ansel Collins, Bernard "Touter" Harvey, Tony Chin, Bobby Ellis und Vin Gordon[1] gehörten zur ständigen Besetzung. Die Band nahm Lees beliebteste Werke aus den 1970ern auf, wobei die instrumentalen B-Seiten von Lees Single-Auskopplungen auf dem Plattenlabel Jackpot and Justice grundsätzlich den Aggrovators gewidmet, und von King Tubby abgemischt wurden.[1]

The Aggrovators (también llamados Aggravators o Agrovators) fue una banda de estudio de música reggae y dub de la década de 1970 y de la de 1980, siendo una de las principales bandas de músicos de sesión del productor discográfico Bunny Lee. La composición de la banda variaba, aunque Lee usaba el nombre para cualquier grupo que utilizara.[1][2] El nombre de la banda derivó de una tienda de discos que había abierto Lee a finales de la década de 1960.[1] Varios miembros de la banda se harían un nombre en el reggae posteriormente. Leyendas como Jackie Mittoo, Sly and Robbie, Tommy McCook o Aston Barret estuvieron ligados al grupo. Otros miembros regulares fueron Carlton "Santa" Davis, Earl "Chinna" Smith, Ansel Collins, Bernard "Touter" Harvey, Tony Chin, Bobby Ellis, y Vin Gordon.[1] La banda grabó la producción más popular de Lee en la década de 1970, grabando con el nombre The Aggrovators los instrumentales de las caras B de los sencillos de Lee, que eran generalmente mezclados por King Tubby.[1]
