Sun Is Shining produced by Bunny Striker Lee, Lee Scratch Perry, Jo Jo Hookim, Bulby York, Lynford Marshall, Karl Toppin for Channel One, Tuff Gong, Fat Eyes in 1971
Originally issued in 1971, Sun Is Shining Riddim brings together productions linked to Channel One, Tuff Gong and Fat Eyes, with Bunny Striker Lee, Lee Scratch Perry, Jo Jo Hookim, Bulby York, Lynford Marshall and Karl Toppin all attached to the broader credit line. The set leans on classic Marley-era material and later version cuts, with Bob Marley and The Wailers’ Sun Is Shining, Black Uhuru’s 1977 take, Ronnie Davis, Delroy Wilson, and Anthony Red Rose all giving the rhythm different shades across the years. It also folds in dub entries like Jammy’s A Shine and Real Rastaman Riddim, which helps frame the release as both a roots-era showcase and a later sound system rebuild.
