If I Follow My Heart Riddim – Linval Thompson Records

1979’s If I Follow My Heart Riddim on Linval Thompson Records is a compact four-track roots cut that keeps the focus tight on Linval Thompson himself, with two takes of If I Follow My Heart, Trinity’s Follow My Heart, and The Thompson All Stars’ Rockers Version rounding out the set. Produced by Linval Thompson, it reflects the strong late-’70s rockers-era sound he was shaping at the time, with the version side sitting right alongside the vocal cuts. Trinity’s contribution adds a sharp deejay contrast, while the Rockers Version gives the rhythm a clean dubwise lift and makes the release feel especially complete for a short riddim package.
