Nightfall Riddim – Unknown Label

Nightfall produced by Linval Thompson, Mickie Scott for Unknown Label in 1981

1981’s Nightfall Riddim comes from Linval Thompson and Mickie Scott on an unknown label, a short four-track set that keeps things tight with just Johnny Osbourne and dub versions on the roster. The cut Nightfall is joined by Dub In Niagara Falls, while Dub Fall and Nightfall Dubbing handle the instrumental side, giving the rhythm a deep, stripped-back late-dub feel. It’s a small release, but the pairing of Thompson’s production touch with Osbourne’s voice makes it an easy one to file alongside the early-80s roots and dub work that helped define that period.
