Look Before You Leap produced by Manley Buchanan, Gregory Isaacs, Alvin Ranglin for Unknown Label in 1973
Look Before You Leap Riddim came out in 1973 on an unknown label, with production credited to Manley Buchanan, Gregory Isaacs, and Alvin Ranglin. The set is a small but sharp one, pairing Big Youth’s Things In The Light with Gregory Isaacs’ Look Before You Leap, which also reappears in a 1976 version. Gregory Isaacs is the key voice here, and the riddim sits in that early-’70s sweet spot where deejay energy and singer style overlap cleanly. Big Youth was already cutting some of his most recognizable work around this period, and Alvin Ranglin’s GG’s connections make the release feel tied into a wider run of roots-era Jamaican output.
