Too Proud To Beg produced by Bunny Striker Lee for Unknown Label in 1971
1971’s Too Proud To Beg Riddim comes from Bunny Striker Lee and Unknown Label, and it leans into a tight early-70s roots-era groove with just three cuts: Dennis Alcapone’s Ain’t Too Proud To Beg, Slim Smith’s title version, and U Roy’s Love I Bring. The lineup links one of reggae’s key deejays with Slim Smith’s classic vocal treatment, while Bunny Lee’s production gives the riddim that lean, stripped-down feel he was known for at the time. It’s a small but sharp set, and the Dennis Alcapone and U Roy versions make the release especially memorable.
