Let Me Tell You Boy Riddim brings together a long-running roots and dancehall set associated with Tappa Zukie, Harry Mudie, Lloyd Campbell, Michelle Campbell, Trevor Elliott, Robert Livingston, William Maragh and Andrew Harpaul, with dates on the archive pointing to a 1970 foundation and later cuts spread across Tappa, Moodisc, Stars, Stepper, Thrillseekers, Musical Ambassador and Wild Apache. The lineup includes Brigadier Jerry with Jah D, Joseph Cotton on Stay A Yard And Praise God, Horace Andy on Brutality and My Love, and Jo Jo Bennett on the title cut, alongside later versions from Half Pint, Josey Wales and Count Sticky. Harry Mudie’s original 1970 riddim has a sizable legacy, and the set traces that line from early roots production into later vocal and dub reinterpretations.
