Promise To Be True produced by Roy Cousins for Unknown Label in 1983
Roy Cousins produced Promise To Be True Riddim in 1983 for the Unknown Label, a small three-cut set that pairs Don Carlos’s title tune with Neville Mitchell’s Get Out Of Hand and the dub cut Welch Man Dub (Jah Love Of Twelve Tribe). It sits neatly in Cousins’ early-’80s catalogue, a period that also included several other lean, vocal-driven roots productions. The riddim has that spare, dubwise late-sound-system feel of the era, with only three tracks but enough character to make the Don Carlos cut the immediate anchor.
Promise To Be True Tracklist:
- Dub – Welch Man Dub (Jah Love Of Twelve Tribe)
- Don Carlos – Promise To Be True
- Neville Mitchell – Get Out Of Hand
