Driving back to my hotel in Kingston after visiting with Ken Boothe where we talked about Keith Hudson for an upcoming biography I am writing on "the dark prince of reggae". This is the 7" first version of 'Darkest Night' on the Spur label, the 'Flesh Of My Skin' LP version has new vocals by Keith and backing vocals by Candi McKenzie.

STABILIZER - FLESH OF MY SKIN LP

This is 'Stabiliser' featuring Augustus Pablo from the Keith Hudson 'Flesh Of My Skin' LP of 1974. This track was later released as 'Burton Rock' by Militant Barry on his Kiss label to commemorate the Burton Youth Club riot in London in 1974 that was instigated by some over aggressive police officers. My driver in Jamaica, just by coincidence, was also named Keith.
