Call Me Riddim – Unknown Label

Call Me Riddim, issued in 1982, comes from Linval Thompson’s production side and is a short, two-track set on Unknown Label that keeps the focus tight on the title song and a dub version, Space Invaders Re-Group. The selection is minimal but memorable, with Thompson himself handling Call Me and the accompanying dub giving the riddim a stripped-back, heavyweight feel. It sits neatly in Thompson’s early-’80s run, when he was turning out roots-conscious productions with a strong sound-system edge, and this one captures that same lean, no-frills style.
