THE REASON WHY I LOVE YOU * THE TECHNIQUES * BLANK * JA

The Reason Why I Love You is an early Reggae rhythm with a choice vocal (not a DJ or version) on the next side of an original Jamaican first pressing of Johnny Osbourne's Come back Darling. The disc is a Winston Riley production and pressing, the A side has a 'Techniques Enterprise' stamp on.

  I don't believe this cut was issued in the UK; Come Back Darling was released on Big Shot #543 but with an instrumental flip. It's also not on the Trojan LP Come back Darling by Johnny Osbourne & The Sensations, though I have no way of knowing if it's on the cd of that name. Of course it might not even be by The Sensations that is just a guess as they are on the A side and it sounds like it could be them.
