One Step Forward produced by Lee Scratch Perry for Unknown Label in 1976
One Step Forward Riddim pulls together Max Romeo’s One Step Forward, Prince Jazzbo’s Ital Corner, and The Upsetters’ One Step Sub, with Lee Scratch Perry at the helm in 1976. The cuts come from that classic Black Ark era feel: thick bass, stripped-down drums, and dubby space that lets each voice ride the same foundation in a different way. Max Romeo’s title tune is the anchor, while Prince Jazzbo’s toast and The Upsetters’ instrumental version keep the riddim moving in a more playful, leaner direction. It’s a small but sharp set, and Perry’s production identity is what ties the whole thing together.
