(Rupie Edwards All Stars - Your New Love)
penultimate cut on the players selection and it's another pearl from Jamaica. a Winston Wright organ led version of one of themusicologists favourite pieces of early Reggae, singer Dobby Dobson's top ranking song 'Your New Love'
although a singer of some fine songs Rupie Edwards was and is better known for his skills as a producer, having worked with such luminaries as Johnny Clarke, The Heptones, Gregory Issacs, the great Joe Higgs and foundation DJ's U Roy and I Roy, (to name a few), and his contribution to the development of 'Dub' is sometimes overlooked. before the 'version' became the standard B-Side to every Jamaican 45, Rupie Edwards was experimenting with the instrumental and this one is an example of his capabilities.
