Producer : Glen Brown

Glen Brown began his musical career as a vocalist and melodica player on tracks produced by Prince Buster, Sir Coxsone Dodd, Leslie Kong, and Derrick Harriott. He later formed two record labels; Pantomine, and South East Music, and produced tracks by U Roy, Gregory Isaacs, Big Youth, Prince Jazzbo, Johnny Clarke, and Little Roy. Due to low funds, his early releases were pressed in limited runs, but have since become more widely available on various compilations, such as Check The Winner, Boat To Progress, The Way To Mt. Zion (featuring material from the 1969-1976 period), and Termination Dub (featuring material recorded with King Tubby between 1973 and 1979), which was my first introduction to the music of this producer/ singer.
