Description
Back on Panorama Records, we turn to a beautiful slice of under-the-radar Jamaican reggae with Horace Martin’s Me Rule.
Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Horace Martin was just 20 years old when he stepped into Channel One Studio to record the track in 1974. At the time he was building his name locally, performing in clubs and talent shows around the city while cutting sides in Kingstons vibrant studio scene. Me Rule captures that moment perfectly – youthful confidence over a deep, steady rhythm.
This record earned its place among the deepest collectors. Proper rootsy dancefloor reggae that feels just as good today as it did when it first came out of Kingston.
On the flip, things open up with a dubbed-out version of the rhythm titled Rule, credited to Prince Huntly. Stripped back, the dub extends the track – echo, percussion, and bass doing the work.
As always, Panorama Records continues its search for overlooked gems from across the globe – records with history, character, and real musical weight. Carefully remastered and brought back on 7″, “Me Rule” is another example of these records finding their way back to the turntable and the dance!
