I Don’t Wanna Be Left Outside Riddim – Wackie’s, Scorcher

I Don’t Wanna Be Left Outside produced by Horace Andy, Errol Scorcher for Wackie’s, Scorcher in 1980

Produced by Horace Andy and Errol Scorcher for Wackie’s and Scorcher, I Don’t Wanna Be Left Outside comes from 1980 and pairs only two cuts, with Horace Andy’s title track leading into Tony Tuff and Errol Scorcher’s Run Come Come. The release is also tied to a Wackie’s 10-inch issue with Zion Dub on the flip in some listings, which gives the riddim a deeper roots-dub edge. Horace Andy’s cut is the one that anchors it, but the Tony Tuff collaboration helps underline how closely this material sits inside the Wackie’s/Scorcher catalogue of the period. It’s a compact early-’80s roots session with a sturdy, bass-heavy feel and the kind of stripped arrangement that makes the rhythm easy to recognise.
