I’ll Be Lonely Riddim – Various Labels is a 1968 roots-era set built around the classic John Holt cut and spread across a deep mix of labels and producers, including Joe Gibbs, Coxsone Dodd, Duke Reid, Bunny Striker Lee, Sugar Minott, and Errol Thompson. The tracklist pulls together a wide vocal selection, with names like John Holt, Freddie McGregor, George Nooks, Glen Washington, Don Carlos, and Earl George, so the release moves between vintage lovers rock feeling and later conscious reggae interpretations. One of the key touches here is the way the riddim keeps resurfacing across different eras and labels, giving the compilation a long-running studio history rather than a single-session feel.
