Bottle Fe Forty Cent produced by Maurice Johnson for Black Scorpio in 1987
1987’s Bottle Fe Forty Cent Riddim comes out of the Black Scorpio camp under producer Maurice Johnson, pairing a tight nine-song lineup with some of the label’s familiar voices of the era. General Trees’ Bottle Fe Forty Cents is the title cut, while Bobby Melody’s Sweet Mommy, Captain Barkey’s God Love Onu, Lady G’s Be A Woman, and Trevor Levy’s Hot Love help round out the set. Black Scorpio’s own All Stars version closes the sequence, which fits the sound system’s deep roots in dancehall production and the steady run of Jamaican chart work Johnson was pushing through the label in the late 1980s.
