1987’s News Flash Time Riddim comes from Harold McLarty on Unknown Label and keeps things tight with just two cuts, led by Admiral Bailey’s News Flash Time and Tiger’s Works. The pair gives the rhythm a sharp, late-80s dancehall feel, with Admiral Bailey fronting the better-known side of the release and Tiger adding a solid companion cut. As a small archive-era set, it’s a concise snapshot of McLarty’s production work and the sound of that period, built around a rhythm that was also issued in the UK on a 1987 Admiral Bailey compilation.
