Fire In A Trenchtown Riddim – Midnite

Fire In A Trenchtown produced by Owen Gray, Alton Ellis for Midnite in 1978

Issued in 1978, Fire In A Trenchtown Riddim came out on Midnite with production credit shared by Owen Gray and Alton Ellis, a pairing that gives the release extra weight in reggae history. The small two-track set keeps the focus tight: Owen Gray’s Fire In A Trenchtown on one side and Dub – Fire Version on the other, with the dub cut adding the version side that collectors usually want from this era. Gray, already well established by the late 1970s, brings the vocal tune a plainspoken roots feel, while Ellis’ involvement ties the riddim back to one of reggae’s most respected voices and producers.
