Produced by Winston Holness, better known as Niney the Observer, Have No Fear Riddim came out in 1974 on the Observer/Third World side of his catalogue and captures that early-’70s roots-reggae sound in a very compact form. Dennis Brown’s Have No Fear leads the set, with Dillinger turning up twice on Flat Foot Hustling, including a later 1977 cut that shows how the rhythm kept moving through the decade. With just three tracks and two unique artists, it’s a small but recognisable riddim built around Niney’s heavy, spare production style and the kind of vocal pull that made Observer releases so durable.
