Baby I Love You Riddim – Various Labels is a 1968 rocksteady-style set built around the classic Alton Ellis and The Flames cut Oh Wee Baby (Baby I Love You), with roots in Treasure Isle and J and M-era production from names like Kenneth Johnson, Duke Reid, Sugar Minott, Bunny Lee, Henry Lawes, Byron Reid, Donville Davis, and Wayne Ottey. The selection mixes key early versions such as Duke Reid All Stars’ Dub I Love with later reinterpretations from Anthony Cruz, Frankie Paul, Josey Wales, Candy Man, and others, giving the riddim a long-running crossover life across singers and deejays. Alton Ellis is the anchor here, and the presence of the Duke Reid camp points to the warm, melodic sound that helped carry the original into later decades.
