Girl Name Pat Riddim – Unknown Label

Issued in 1974 and produced by Augustus Pablo, Girl Name Pat Riddim is a two-track Rockers-era cut that pairs Jacob Miller’s Girl Name Pat with Pablo’s own Girl Name Pat Version. It’s a small but important slice of the early Pablo sound, with Miller’s vocal sitting beside the dub-style version in the way that became such a key part of his work with Pablo. The tune later turned up on Jacob Miller’s Who Say Jah No Dread sessions, which helps place it among the classic recordings from that period.
