Love And Livity Riddim – Cash And Carry

Love And Livity Riddim came out in 1979 on Cash And Carry and was produced by Trevor Douglas. This two-cut roots set pairs Big Youth’s Political Confusion with The Jewels’ Love And Livity, and the connection between the songs is especially tight because Big Youth’s toast rides the same foundation built for the Jewels’ harmony cut. The Jewels’ side leans into a warm, socially minded vocal style, while Big Youth brings a sharper deejay edge to the same rhythm. Cash And Carry is closely tied to Leggo’s Orange Street operation, and this release sits in that classic late-’70s roots-harmony lane with just enough contrast between singer and deejay to keep it memorable.
