Brand New Baby Riddim – Unknown Label

Brand New Baby Riddim is a 1975 Carlton Patterson production on an unknown label, a tight two-track set that pairs Larry Marshall’s Brand New Baby with the dub cut Clash Of Steele. The release is closely tied to the Black and White/King Tubby orbit, with the dub side credited to King Tubby and the same pairing later appearing on a Black and White reissue. Larry Marshall’s vocal gives the riddim its melodic center, while the flip leans into the stripped-back dub style that defined so much mid-1970s Jamaican production.
