John Jones produced by Derrick Harriott for Crystal in 1968
John Jones Riddim – Crystal is a 1968 Derrick Harriott production for his Crystal label, with just two cuts in the set: Rudy Mills’ title track John Jones and The Crystalites’ instrumental Bombshell. Mills’ side became one of Harriott’s better-known rocksteady-era releases, while The Crystalites bring the flip as Harriott’s studio band, a group closely tied to his late-’60s output. The pairing keeps the release concise and period-correct, with a vocal A-side and a cover-style instrumental B-side that reflects the sound Harriott was shaping around Crystal at the time.
