Love Is Overdue Riddim – GG’s, Fire Ball

Love Is Overdue produced by Alvin Ranglin, Sugar Roy for GG’s, Fire Ball in 1974

Alvin Ranglin’s Love Is Overdue riddim for GG’s and Fire Ball dates to 1974, when Gregory Isaacs cut the title tune that helped give him his first Jamaican number one. The juggling brings together later cuts from Admiral Tibet, Bushman, Luciano, Lukie D, Ras Shiloh, and the GG All Stars, with Love Is Overdue and the Gregory Isaacs original as the key pulls here. What makes it easy to place in Ranglin’s catalogue is its warm, melodic roots feel and the way it ties one of Isaacs’ early breakout songs to a set of later conscious voices.
