Champion Lover Riddim – Anchor Records

Champion Lover Riddim – Anchor Records is a 1990 reggae set built around the Champion Lover rhythm, with Anchor linked to Augustus Clarke’s wider Music Works circle. Deborah Glasgow leads off with Champion Lover, while Shabba Ranks turns up on several key cuts, including Turn It Down with Home T and Cocoa Tea, Don’t Test Me, Mr. Loverman, and Hard Core Loving with J. C. Lodge. Pirates Anthem also adds one of the set’s strongest combinations, pairing Shabba Ranks with Cocoa Tea and Home T. The riddim has a direct connection to the period when Champion Lover was being versioned across the Jamaican dancehall scene, and the lineup gives it that classic early-90s crossover feel, balancing lovers rock sweetness with Shabba’s sharp delivery.
