Every Little Thing Riddim – Various Labels

Every Little Thing produced by Mandingo, Roy Francis, Bobby Digital for Greensleeves, Niagara, Mixing Lab, Brickwall in 1978

Originally issued in 1978 and credited here to various labels, Every Little Thing Riddim brings together productions associated with Mandingo, Roy Francis, Bobby Digital, Greensleeves, Niagara, Mixing Lab and Brickwall. Dennis Brown’s Funny Feeling and the Brown-and-Trinity cut of the same song give the set a strong centre, while Captain Sinbad’s Dem Run To Babylon, General Echo’s Sex Education Class and Freddie McGregor’s later Every Little Thing version keep the rhythm’s name alive across different eras. It’s a classic late-70s foundation style riddim with a long afterlife, moving between roots, early dancehall and later revival voicings without losing its original swing.
