Bought Scattarock's 12" "Time/Wonder Woman" issued on Rite Sound, in the early 80's in a Paris shop (Concrete Jungle, run by José Jourdain,if some know this nice tiny shop).
Very nice record indeed.

Here is some (updated) infos I posted on this forum some years ago.

Actually there are two "areas" regarding the Roy Sinclair prods.

First he started to produce some tune in Jamaica. W Jarrett and Gladdy convinced him to finance some session. The Rite Sound Reggae Story compiled some of these first productions. It's mostly, Gladstone Anderson & Jackie Mitto who were the actual producer.

There are also few 12" pressed in UK, among wich an extended cut to Winston Jarret "Humble Yourself" with "Crying In The Ghetto" on flip. Crucial 12" IMO. The Humble Yourself tune also appeared as a rather strange dub on the flip to Jackie Mittoo "Mash Down Babylon" on Nefertiti. Don't like the Jarrett's dub but the Mittoo tune is very good.

Later he opened a shop in UK and started to produce some UK reggae tunes. The LP "Scattarock" is a good exemple of these production.

So, one producer and two kind of reggae.

From the UK prods, the 12" I can point out are:

Revelation "Jah Feeling"
Jah Fatta "Free Rasta Free"
Scatarock "Time / Wonsder Woman"

I'm quite sure (actually, I don't have all records @ home @ the moment) I got got extra copies of the Rite Sounds Story, the Scatarock LP, the Scatarock 12" and the Revealation 12".

If anyone would like to make a trade, drope a PM.
