Fade Away Riddim, credited here to various labels, is a 1975 reggae rhythm built around the well-known Fade Away base and a long trail of later versions. The lineup ties together names like Carlton Livingston, Admiral Tibet, Anthony Cruz, Ernest Ranglin, and Prince Jazzbo, with Dub - Fade Away Version and Fade Away Variation among the key cuts. It also folds in production work linked to Jo Jo Hookim, Hyman Wright, Tony Kelly, Bobby Digital, Lloyd Campbell, and other heavy hitters across Channel One, Ujama, Shocking Vibes, Digital-B, Joe Frasier, and Heartical. The result is a cross-era riddim package that connects roots roots styling to later dancehall interpretations, with the original 1975 cut giving the whole release its foundation.
