Black Magic Woman produced by Phil Pratt for Sunshot in 1972
Phil Pratt’s Sunshot cut from 1972 pairs two early reggae sides around the same riddim, with Big Youth’s Tell It Black and Dennis Brown’s Black Magic Woman anchoring the set. Brown was still a teenager when he voiced the song, and the release captures that bridge between the sharper DJ style and the smoother singer approach that Pratt was shaping at the time. With just two tracks, it keeps the focus tight on the title cut and its companion version, a small but telling snapshot of Sunshot’s early-’70s catalogue.
