Girl I’ve Got A Date Riddim – Treasure Isle, High Note, Fat Eyes

Girl I’ve Got A Date produced by Duke Reid, Bunny Striker Lee, Sonia Pottinger, Joe Gibbs, Errol Thompson, Lloyd Charmers for Treasure Isle, High Note, Fat Eyes in 1974

Girl I’ve Got A Date Riddim brings together a 1974 Treasure Isle-era set produced by Duke Reid, Bunny Striker Lee, Sonia Pottinger, Joe Gibbs, Errol Thompson, and Lloyd Charmers, with Alton Ellis at the center and a string of later versions around the same classic cut. The tracklist includes Ellis’ original Girl I’ve Got a Date, the Supersonics version, Brent Dowe and Jah Walton’s 1976 take, U-Roy’s Wake The Town, and Vin Gordon’s Liquid Horns, showing how the riddim kept moving through rocksteady, early reggae, and deejay styling. Alton Ellis’ song is one of the best-known tunes in the roots of Jamaican music, and the riddim’s long version history makes this set a useful snapshot of how Treasure Isle material stayed in rotation across different eras.
