Pup’n Temper produced by Pete Weston for Ashanti in 1971
In 1971, Pete Weston’s Pup’n Temper for Ashanti captures a compact early reggae riddim cut with just two tracks: Weston’s vocal side and Pete’s All Stars on the version. The release is closely tied to Pete Weston, who is both the artist and the producer here, and it comes from Ashanti in a straightforward roots-era single format. With its lean tracklist and the version side already built in, it feels like a classic dub-conscious 7-inch from the period, and the title track remains the clear anchor of the set.
