Thrillseekers was always its own label Don. I cant recall the producer right now but many classic chunes released on this label, Barry Brown, Delton Screechie, Early Black to mention just a few.

Many producers have used the conversation riddim over the years but I am sure that it was Rupie Edwards that dropped it first on his Success label in 74. A timeless riddim it is too. Check the "Yamaha Skank" LP for 12 original cuts on the conversation riddim. All Killer.

Didn't the Uniques do My Conversation for Bunny Lee back in the Rocksteady period (ie long before 1974)?

Danny Dread's Bible Connection may be over the same rhythm track as Cornell Campbell's version of My Conversation. The B-side to that one was called 'Thirst Dub' - no idea why! - but I can't remember whether it was the true version (ie Conversation riddim) without giving the 7" a spin.

There is indeed a large serie on the Thrillseeker label over the late 70's recut of the My Conversation riddim.
I believe the label is owned by producers C & L. Synmoie. C stands for Chester (ie Synmoie), a longtime partner to Lone Ranger who rides the same riddim on the track "Barnabas Collins". This track is found on the "Barnabas in Collinswood" LP which is available on the Thrillseekers label.

I thought that Ranger LP dropped on the "GG's" label? Produced by Alvin Ranglin. Least my copy is I am sure.....

The plot thickens.
