Full Up Riddim – Various Labels pulls together a long run of cuts across roots and dancehall, with productions linked to Jah Thomas, Coxsone Dodd, King Tubby, Junjo Lawes, Gussie Clarke, Bobby Digital and others. The mix reaches from late-70s and early-80s roots sides like Sugar Minott’s World Of Sorrow and Barrington Levy’s Carol to later dancehall takes from Anthony Red Rose, Anthony Malvo, Yellowman, Wayne Wonder and Tony Curtis, showing how widely the Full Up foundation was used over the years. The riddim is often tied to Studio One in its earliest form, and that connection helps explain why so many versions keep its heavy, direct bassline and spare arrangement intact.
