I Don’t Mind Riddim – Studio One

I Don’t Mind Riddim – Studio One brings together the 1968 Coxsone Dodd production for Studio One with two cuts of the same tune from Bob Andy and Tyrone Evans and The Bassies. Set right in the rocksteady-to-reggae era, it has that warm, late-60s Studio One feel that helped shape the label’s sound, with the title song carried by Bob Andy’s smooth lead and the Bassies’ harmony take giving the riddim a different edge. It’s a compact showcase of Dodd’s knack for pairing strong singers with memorable backing, and the release identity comes from hearing the same song move through two distinct vocal treatments.
