Interesting, House of Reggae, interesting. If you have a lot of time—and interest—check out my 2-hour reasoning with Earl Sixteen. Bless up 🫡 https://www.reggae-vibes.com/articles/2021/12/cool-conscious-and-constantly-cutting-edge-earl-sixteen-the-interview/

Thanks for this. I've had a quick run through but will need a lot more time to go through it all! I was intrigued about an 'early years' compilation. Do you know if he managed to release this yet?

That’s a lesson in music-making and great value at nearly 6 minutes. Such a smooth track but clean and crisp with it.

Absolutely. Similar thoughts here. I wouldn't be surprised if this was recorded at Channel One.

He is a great singer, such a mature voice at that young age. And very versatile. I like the later electronica stuff he did in the 1990s.

Yes I remember seeing him with Dreadzone sometime in the mid-90s...

Cha Cha put out some great stuff

houseofreggae.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yes certainly. A lot of Channel One came out on Cha Cha. I wouldn't be surprised if this one was recorded there too.

Thank you for sharing these great Reggae moments
I have in my ear this Earl Sixteen track produced in 1975 by Joe Gibbs, the Mighty Two, with a rather extraordinary Dub version, enjoy it !
