    I'm trying to figure out the artist/producer on the A-side of my Roy Richards "Freedom Blues" single (Studio 1 black & white label) The A side label is a blank and the music is definitely not a version of the b side song. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks.

    what is etched in the run out area?
    have you checked the Roots Knotty Roots site?
    They list these possibilities:
    Slendors - First Time I Met You - Banana
    Slendors - First Time I Met You - Coxsone
    Sound Dimension - Freedom Dub - Coxsone
    Sound Dimension - Freedom Version - Studio One

    Thanks for the help and the Roots Knotty Roots lead. Aye, my version is the Slendors B-side. Is there a way to cruise the RKR site without purchasing a subscription?

    Not that I know of.
    I'll be happy to look up a few if you need them but I have found it to be well worth the subscription.

    Hey ScottieB, I have another one for you. I have a Slim Smith's 'Hip Hug' single with a white label blank for a B-side. It's on Studio 1, black & white label. Any idea what this mystery song could be? Much appreciated, Utrillo.
