Now you dance steppers, anyone who like Faybiene's classic 'Prophecy' and the follow-up 'Destiny'?

Wot, no Faybiene Miranda fans here?? 'Prophecy' is a true roots classic prod. by the late Jack Ruby, check it if you haven't heard it

Never heard about Faybiene. A 70's artist?

Yes, Ites,

I have a copy of Prophecy and I agree -
it is a great record.

Here is a web link which may be of interest:

For all the re-issue fans, "Prophecy" was included on the following (rather good) compilation CD which came out about 10 years ago:-

"Classic Reggae Mastercuts"

1. Very Well - Wailing Souls
2. Chalice In The Palace - U-Roy
3. I Don't Want To Be Left Outside - Horace Andy
4. Conscious Man - Horace Andy
5. War Ina Babylon - Max Romeo
6. Nice Time - Don Carlos
7. Jah No Dead - Burning Spear
8. Keep on Knocking - Jacob Miller
9. Hardtimes - Pablo Gad
10. Warrior Charge - Aswad
11. PROPHECY - FABIAN***
12. Love And Only Love - Fred Locks

One more thing - AISHA cut a version of it for The Mad Professor in about '86 or '87.

True. I have heard Destiny too, just as good as Prophecy in my opinion, although purists tend to disagree on that one.

i have both 45's and they are both sought after 7" but prophecy as a more stronger lik to me afta spinning it so many times on the turntables over the years in a soundsystem style.

True Dudley, Prophecy is - I admit - the stronger of the two, but Destiny is not as bad as some have it, its coming close after Prophecy qualitywise

i agree on destiny too, not to be missed always good to warm up a rootsman dance, with a little channel one sound.

Channel One? I think she cut her tunes at Harry J with the late Jack Ruby

Duley, how long have you collected this music, and have you come across another Destiny copy, doubles
