Released in 1997, Never Before Riddim comes from 321 Strong and leans into a rootsy reggae feel with a tight eight-track set and seven different artists. The lineup brings in Tony Curtis with Home Alone, Brian and Tony Gold on both the radio and dancehall mixes of Never Before, plus strong turns from Frankie Paul and Beres Hammond. Fire House Crew handle the version cuts, giving the project a clean dubwise backbone, and the riddim is also known as a version of Can I Change My Mind. It’s a compact, vocal-driven session that pairs a memorable title tune with some of the era’s most reliable voices.
