Baby Don’t Go Riddim (1972) traces back to Coxsone Dodd and Studio One, with later cuts carried by a wide spread of producers and labels including Yabby You, Jah Guidance, Jah Life, Afro Eagle, Chartbound, Feel The Beat, and Greensleeves. The selection moves from Horace Andy’s Please Don’t Go and Horace Andy and Trinity’s Baby Don’t Go to strong later versions like Barrington Levy’s Shaolin Temple, Leroy Smart’s Thief In The Night, Junior Reid’s Grey Eye Woman, and Half Pint’s Don’t Let It Fade Away. It’s a deep roots line-up that mixes singers, deejays, and dub versions across the early 1970s through the mid-1980s, with the original Horace Andy cut sitting right at the center of the riddim’s history.
