Stop Spreading Rumours produced by Augustus Clarke for Music Works in 1988
Produced by Augustus Clarke for Music Works in 1988, Stop Spreading Rumours links Home T, Cocoa Tea and Shabba Ranks on a tight late-80s dancehall cut with a dub version and a Scandalous Remix alongside the main vocal. The single sits in the same Music Works run that also featured Home T’s Single Life and other 1988 riddims from Clarke’s Kingston camp, and it captures that clean, heavyweight style he was known for. Cocoa Tea and Shabba Ranks were already active on several other Clarke productions around the same period, which gives this release an easy crossover feel between roots melody and tougher dancehall delivery.
