Shame And Pride Riddim – Unknown Label

Shame And Pride produced by Jah Lloyd, Edmond Brooks for Unknown Label in 1974

Shame And Pride Riddim is a 1974 Unknown Label release produced by Jah Lloyd and Edmond Brooks, with seven cuts from five artists and a tight mix of dub, vocal, and harmony work. The set pulls in The Mighty Diamonds’ Shame And Pride, Jah Lloyd’s Black Love and Piece A Banana, Jah Lloyd and Bongo Herman’s African Drums, Dennis Alcapone’s Come Down, plus the two dub versions, Blacka Love and Pride Version. It also ties back to an important early Mighty Diamonds song that first made the rounds in the early 1970s, giving the riddim a rootsy, melodic centre while the dubs and deejay cut keep it grounded in sound system style.
