Too Late To Turn Back Now produced by Clive Chin for Impact!, Fashion in 1973
Produced by Clive Chin for Impact! in 1973, Too Late To Turn Back Now Riddim is anchored by Alton Ellis’ cover of Too Late To Turn Back Now, with the later Fashion cuts adding Janet-Lee Davis’s Do You Remember #2 and the dub-heavy runs from Mafia and Fluxy and Vivian Jones. The riddim links a classic early-70s Roots-era vocal from Ellis to a mid-90s Fashion revival, and the contrast makes it easy to place in both the Impact! catalogue and the later sound-system style reworkings. It has that warm, soulful foundation that lets the vocal version lead while the dubs keep the rhythm open and მძიმე for the steppers end of the set.
