Youth Man Riddim – Sunset Records

Youth Man produced by Roy Cousins for Sunset Records in 1982

Produced by Roy Cousins for Sunset Records in 1982, Youth Man is a tight two-track roots-era set that pairs Charlie Chaplin’s Hey Youth Man with Dub Scientist’s A Piece More Version. The release sits at the edge of the early dancehall transition, with Chaplin’s youthful deejay style riding a clean, spare riddim while the version side keeps the instrumental focus on the groove. Roy Cousins, best known for a long run of important reggae productions and his work with Charlie Chaplin, gives the record a firm late-Roots feel that still points toward the coming dancehall era.
