Phase One 12 Reggae Disco Mix

In 1977 Roy Francis started a label called Phase One; from the beginning it gained a reputation for quality productions, scoring big reggae hits with the Chantells, who’s classic "Waiting In The Park" was massive in 1978; the vocal trio's "Children Of Jah" also sold strongly at the time. But for the most part, the other artists Roy chose to record were unknowns, apart from Tabby Diamond and the Heptones, who both cut singles for Phase One; Dean Fraser also recorded a sax cut ofTabby's take on Ken Boothe's "Gonna Take A Miracle", and made a vocal under the name Jah Devon. Nevertheless, unknown singers like Lopez Walker and Errol Davis made superb sides for Phase One, while the releases of, Steve Boswell, Paul, The Terrors and Untouchables were not far behind.
