    My Cup Riddim sits right in that late-’60s Upsetter zone where the groove is lean, the bass is deep, and every little echo from the studio feels purposeful. Bob Marley and The Wailers’ “My Cup” is the clear anchor here, with Lee “Scratch” Perry’s production setting up a stripped-back, hypnotic cut that The Upsetters answer with “Version Of Cup, ” a tidy two-track set that shows how quickly those early Perry/Wailers ideas could flip into dubwise variations. It’s a small release, but it catches a big moment in reggae’s shape-shifting years, when vocal tune and version were already talking to each other. The tracklist is just Bob Marley and The Wailers – “My Cup” and The Upsetters – “Version Of Cup, ” both tied to 1969.
