Jail House Riddim – Unknown Label

1982’s Jail House Riddim comes from King Jammy and an unknown label, with just two cuts carrying the set: Junior Reid’s Jail House and the dub version, The Crowning of Prince Jammy. The pairing leans into that early-80s Jammy sound, and the title track gives Junior Reid an early showcase before he became a major dancehall voice. It’s a lean, straight-to-the-point release, with the dub cut underlining the producer’s studio style and the era’s stripped-back riddim approach.
