Lyndon Haughton (cited here for "Hustling Man") also recorded "East of Handsworth"


here some other I can't point out from memory:

Noel Mckoy & the Albian "The People". Noel McKoy is well known as a UK soul singer, but he started with two reggae discomix and "the people" is a strong one à la Shaka!

Fabian "profecy" and "Destiny" both for j Ruby

Ackee "Call Me rambo" I think he has a couple of other tunes

Daddy tar "Zig Zaya"

Moonrock "Unite jah people / Have no Fear" back to back killers, the only tunes I know from Moonrock

Tabby Cat Kelly "Don't Call Us Imigrant"

Shaloma "Good Vibrations" I don't know if she had any other released for mad prof or other producers.

Joshua Moses "Africa"
