Dreada Dread produced by Bunny Striker Lee for Unknown Label in 1975
1975’s Dreada Dread Riddim comes from Bunny Striker Lee on Unknown Label, a lean two-track set tied to the roots era that helped define his production style. Johnny Clarke’s Dreada Dread is the best-known cut here, with King Jammy and The Aggrovators handling the version side, and the pairing makes the release feel firmly rooted in the classic Bunny Lee sound. It’s a short but memorable riddim piece, with the title track arriving in 1976 while the instrumental version dates from 1975.
