  • Never seen before high-quality clip from my treasure chest of a young Little John and Conrad Crystal on Black Scorpio Hi-Fi. You can also see a young Maurice "Black Scorpio" Johnson in the background. It is interesting how the mixing system was set up on each sound system in those days. Colour Chin was the mixer on this one, and this one was filmed at Jack Scorpio's original Headley Avenue base.
