Ain’t Gonna Grieve Riddim – Tabernacle

Ain’t Gonna Grieve produced by Coxsone Dodd for Tabernacle in 1968

Coxsone Dodd produced Ain’t Gonna Grieve for Tabernacle in 1968, and this two-track gospel-leaning roots riddim keeps the focus tight with just Adina Edwards and Phyllis East handling the song. Adina Edwards’ 1968 cut is the earlier version here, while Phyllis East returns to the same lyric in 1972, giving the release a neat time-spanning contrast within the same framework. Tabernacle is one of Dodd’s gospel imprints, and the label’s catalogue from this period often reflects his steady hand in pairing devotional material with a simple, direct studio approach.
