In doing some more research on the who, where, and how of classic 1970's reggae recordings, I was looking for more information on a recording engineer named Sid Bucknor. Sid was very in demand at the time in Kingston to capture the sound, and worked regularly out of Dynamic Sounds and Channel One before moving to the UK. One source claims that he played a part in 70% of the albums from '67 to '75, which is a hell of a lot of records.
In trying to find info on Sid, I came across Roots Archives which is an amazing undertaking: 3,901 reggae albums indexed by artist, producer, studio, backing band, labels, recording staff, etc. etc. And the winner for most prolific studio is: Channel One with 936 (!!!) albums. Good lord.
