Choice Of Color Riddim – Various Labels

Choice Of Color produced by Coxsone Dodd, Gregory Isaacs, Ranking Joe, Jah Screw, Tad Dawkins, Morris White, Peter Jonker, Michael Chin for Studio One, Cash And Carry, Tad’s, Zola, Corner Stone in 1978

Choice Of Color Riddim comes out of the late-1970s Studio One era, with Coxsone Dodd and a run of related labels and producers tied to the same rhythm family, including Cash And Carry, Tad’s, Zola, and Corner Stone in 1978. The set pulls in voices and versions from Dub Specialist, Ranking Joe, The Heptones, Prince Jazzbo, Tony Tuff, and General Trees, with cuts like Better Choice, Together Dub, and Ranking Joe’s Choice Of Colour helping define the selection. It has that classic roots-to-dub crossover feel, and the Studio One connection gives it the kind of weight that made the riddim last well beyond its first release date.
