Herbsman Shuffle Riddim – Clan Disc

Herbsman Shuffle produced by Clancy Eccles for Clan Disc in 1969

Herbsman Shuffle Riddim – Clan Disc, from 1969, was produced by Clancy Eccles for his Clan Disc imprint and keeps the set tight with just two cuts: King Stitt and Andy Capp’s title tune Herbsman Shuffle and Clancy Eccles and The Dynamites’ Phantom, which later pushed the rhythm into a more instrumental, bass-heavy direction. King Stitt was one of the first deejays Eccles put on record, and Andy Capp, billed as Lynford Anderson, adds another early toast-style voice to the session. The release is short but memorable, with the deejay cut and the follow-up flip showing how quickly Eccles was moving between vocal roots and the kind of bare-bones arrangement that helped point toward dub.
