    Let The Power Fall produced by Derrick Morgan, Bunny Striker Lee, Lloydie Slim, Lloyd Campbell, Max Romeo, Joe Gibbs for Hop, Attack, Lord Koos, Rattie Soul, Joe Gibbs in 1971

    Let The Power Fall Riddim is a 1971 various-labels set built around early roots cuts from Derrick Morgan, Bunny Lee, Max Romeo, Lloyd Campbell, Lloydie Slim, Joe Gibbs, and others, with 11 tracks and 10 different artists across the line-up. Max Romeo’s Let The Power Fall and Derrick Morgan’s Give Thanks are the key cuts here, while Bill Gentles’ Take The Rod From Our Back and Joe Gibbs and The Professionals’ More Power For The People show how long the rhythm kept resurfacing into the 1980s. The riddim is tied to Derrick Morgan’s Let The Power Fall, and Bunny Lee is among the producers connected to the era, which helps place the set in the heart of Jamaica’s early 1970s conscious reggae period.
