Maybe For Long produced by Roy Cousins for Wambesi Records in 1979
1979’s Maybe For Long Riddim came out on Wambesi Records with Roy Cousins at the controls, and this three-track set pairs The Gaylads’ Maybe For Long with Zimbabwe Dread’s How Long Jah, plus Dub – Qurban for the sound system side. Roy Cousins was closely linked to Wambesi and later Tamoki Wambesi releases, and this cut also shows his ear for roots harmony and deep dub around the late-’70s period. With its small but focused lineup, the release keeps the spotlight on the title tune while stretching the riddim across two vocal versions and a dub instrumental.
Maybe For Long Tracklist:
