Bridges Riddim – Two Friends Records

Produced by Two Friends Records in 1990, Bridges Riddim pulls together a strong early-dancehall line-up with Home T, Cocoa Tea and Shabba Ranks on Every Time You Go Away, plus cuts from Debbie Dukes, Lady G, Thriller U, Peter Mann and Lady Patra, and Cocoa Tea again on Down in Babylon. It’s a rootsy but radio-friendly riddim set, with the session leaning into vocal harmony and lovers style as much as straight dancehall. Two Friends Records also turns up as the label behind the Bridges listing, which helps place the release firmly in that late-1980s to early-1990s Jamaican single-riddim era.
