Don’t Touch The Crack produced by Bobby Digital, Wycliffe Messam, Prince Jammy for Moodies, Mes Jam, Jammy’s, Youth Vibration in 1987
Don’t Touch The Crack Riddim landed in 1987 through Bobby Digital, Wycliffe Messam and Prince Jammy, with production spread across Moodies, Mes Jam, Jammy’s and Youth Vibration. The seven-cut set brings together Admiral Tibet’s You A Babylon, Cocoa Tea’s Girl Get Ready, Little Kirk’s title tune, Pad Anthony’s Love Go Away, Papa Ritchie’s Stop Boutha and Robert Ffrench’s Youth Man, with Howie Smart also on I Don’t Know. It’s a tight late-’80s dancehall lineup that leans on strong singjay and vocal turns, and the mix of labels gives the riddim a slightly patchwork but very of-its-moment Kingston feel.
