    For the record,and correct history! Amos Larkin did not have any bass records out before bassrock express,those records came out after bassrock express which started the bass phenominum. check the history?,mcade Did not know how to programm at the time but directed every detail in the making of bassrock express,and amos larkin was the engineer. This is not a diss to Amos Larkin it's just a true and correct history lesson for the people who were not there!

      4-Sight Records was originally setup in the back of Royal Sounds record store in the Lauderhill Mall. Run by Billy Hines, he later moved to a real office once the label got going.

      Their primary creative source was Frank Cornelius, youngest sibling in the family turned R&B group 'Cornelious Brothers and Sister Rose' (although Frank was not a member). Frank produced records while Billy employed his son Adrian as 'effects coordinator', which in turn made Adrian an artist in his own right eventually as MC A.D.E. (Adrian Does Everything).

      It's rumored that when FS-09 (Bass Rock Express) was released, the demand was so great that it tied up every pressing plant in Miami, causing other records from every label to be delayed.

      Bass Rock Express is widely considered the first official Miami Bass record, which was conceptually spearheaded by MC ADE, and recorded in its entirity by Amos Larkins under the alias 'Leon Greene'.

      Amos had already recorded songs with sustained Bass for groups such as Prime Choice and Double Duce earlier that year.

        According to an inside source, at one point Luther "Luke" Campbell had actually become the biggest investor for the 4-Sight Records label (at the same time Skyywalker Records was being operated) and was thus able to have clout in such affairs as getting artists signed and negotiating other .
