    Have You Ever Release Details

    Have You Ever Riddim gathers a heavyweight 1981 foundation cut that moved through a long list of labels, with Donovan Germain, Stuart Brown, Sugar Minott, Ranking Dread, Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare, Jah Thomas, Gyasi Addae and Orville Thomas all tied to productions for Penthouse, African Star, Juggling, Joe Gibbs, Midnight Rock, Gyasi, Reggae Vibes and Fashozy. Dennis Brown’s Have You Ever Been In Love Before is the key tune here, and the tracklist also pulls in later versions and related cuts from Buju Banton, Capleton, Carlton Livingston and Da’Ville, giving the riddim a wide span from roots-era lovers rock into modern dancehall. It has the feel of a tune that kept getting re-cut because the melody is so durable, with the Dennis Brown original at the center and the later voicings showing how far the rhythm could travel.
