Alpha past student Lester Sterling is credited with recording perhaps the first reggae song of all time... His debut solo album, Bangarang, was released on Pama Records in 1969. Classic early reggae, producer Striker Lee often claims it as the first proper reggae tune, featuring the John Crow skank organ shuffle c/w updated dub.
