Abyssinians Abendigo Riddim – Clinch Records

This one feels less like a broad producer showcase and more like a tight little snapshot of Clinch in 1976, with Bernard Collins putting his own stamp on the label’s roots sound through just two cuts. The key detail is that “Abendigo” was already part of the Abyssinians’ early Clinch history, so hearing Glen Washington’s “Go Tell It” sitting beside the group’s title track gives the riddim a direct, devotional edge rather than a big compilation feel. Bernard Collins is the name behind Clinch here, and that matters because it ties the release back to the Abyssinians’ own circle instead of treating the song as a floating backing track. With only two tracks, the sequencing is pointed: one voice answering the other, no filler, just a concise pairing that keeps the focus on the song and its message.
