Self Control Riddim – Unknown Label

In 1969, Self Control came out as a lean two-track Jimmy Riley production on an unknown label, with Riley fronting The Pill and teaming with Fay Bennett and the Upsetters on the title cut. It sits firmly in the late-60s reggae archive era, and the release is especially interesting for pairing Riley’s early vocal work with that Upsetters connection. With only two tunes in the set, the focus stays tight: The Pill and Self Control are the key sides, making this a compact snapshot of Riley’s early studio output and a small but notable piece of his catalog.
