Loving Pauper Riddim – Treasure Isle, Kickin

Loving Pauper produced by Duke Reid, Count Shelly, Augustus Clarke for Treasure Isle, Kickin in 1973

From 1973, Loving Pauper Riddim ties together classic Treasure Isle and Kickin material associated with Duke Reid, with the title cut at the centre of a lineup that includes Gregory Isaacs, Dobby Dobson, Big Youth, Dillinger, Freddie McGregor, George Nooks and Anthony B. The set leans on one of reggae’s most enduring lovers-rock themes, and Dobby Dobson’s original Loving Pauper is the reference point that gave the riddim its name. Duke Reid’s Treasure Isle catalogue is a natural fit here, with the release also bringing in De Pauper A Dub and other versions that trace the tune’s long run across different eras.
