1969
UNKNOWN (I NEED YOUR TENDER CARE) * UNKNOWN * SPADE * JA
This is a fine Early Reggae cut with sweet vocal harmonies which I have provisionally titled I Need Your Tender Care as that is the most often repeated line. The other side of this Pre I can identify as Matilda by Winston Shand, the same as released in the UK on Bullet 411, but this side is different from the UK Bullet B side Come To Me by The Harmonians; listening to the Harmonians track on Bullet I would say that it could be the same group as on this cut. Theo Beckford is credited as the producer on Bullet 411, so it is safe to asume that he is the producer of this one. Stamped on the other side of this blank, and just visible in parts, is the the words Spade Records 45½ Slipe Road, Kingston, a label unknown to me.
