Independent label: Music
International Records managed at least three singles. It issued singles in M-000
numerical series. "Inner Force" was formed as a result of the break up of
Dambala. With the addition of "Stephy Sharpstrings" who untill then had been
guitarist with "Here And Now". The band now had a different sound as you can
hear when you listen to some tracks. The band continued to be "Reggae" based but
with a slightly different direction. The band had a manager who got them a lot
of gigs on the college circuit, while Stephys' contacts in the festival world
would prove to be very helpfull. The band signed a recording deal with St Johns
Wood based "Music International Records" run by David Mintz (ex manager of the
Average White Band), which resulted in the single "Holiday/Am I wasting My Time.
Inner Force: Alvin
Christie (Guitar/vocals), Kelvin Lovell (Drums), Mark St Louis (Bass/vocals),
Stephan Lewry (Lead guitar/vocals), Thomas Caddette (Keyboards/vocals).

active between 1979 and 1989, whose first single was co-produced by Joy
