Where it came from
Released in 1973 on the Wild Flower label, this single is a notable piece of the UK reggae scene from the early seventies. It features Bunny Clarke on the A-side with 'Tell Me A Lie' and Lynford Turpin on the flip with 'Turpin Soul,' both backed by The Love People. The record is characteristic of the roots-reggae sound prevalent in London during this era, often produced by independent labels looking to capture the burgeoning local sound of Jamaican expatriate musicians.
The production style reflects the raw, soulful approach of Wild Flower, a label known for its limited pressings and focus on authentic vocal performances. These records were generally issued in small batches for local distribution in record shops catering to the Caribbean community. While the creative team behind these tracks aimed for a radio-friendly, melodic reggae aesthetic, the scarcity of these releases today has led them to be sought after by collectors of vintage vinyl and enthusiasts of early British reggae history.
