Cleanliness Is Godliness Riddim – Pantomine

Cleanliness Is Godliness produced by Glen Brown for Pantomine in 1978

Glen Brown produced Cleanliness Is Godliness for his Pantomine label in 1978, and this four-track set keeps the focus tight with just two voices riding the rhythm: Sylford Walker on Babylonians and Cleanliness Is Godliness, and Welton Irie on Jah Come and Stone Throwing. The mix of roots singing and later deejay cuts gives the riddim a useful bridge between late-1970s foundation reggae and the early-1980s style shift. Walker’s material is the deeper roots side of the set, while Welton Irie brings a more chatty, dancehall-leaning edge to the same framework. Glen Brown was already well known for his atmospheric productions, and this one carries that same stark, heavy feel.
