Yesterme Yesteryou Yesterday

Yesterme Yesteryou Yesterday was released in 1983 by the independent label Natty Congo, representing a notable entry in Iauwata's discography during the early 1980s. The record emerged from a period of experimental reggae and dub production in Japan, where artists were increasingly blending traditional Caribbean rhythms with local electronic sensibilities and atmospheric studio techniques.

The album's design and sound were shaped by a movement toward minimalist arrangements and textured analog synthesis. While Iauwata remained a niche figure within the global reggae scene, the release is recognized by collectors for its distinct production style, which emphasized a stripped-back, melancholic approach that contrasted with the more polished commercial pop sounds dominating the charts at the time.
