Money In My Pocket Riddim – Errol T, Lightning

Money In My Pocket Riddim – Errol T, Lightning pulls together a 1973 roots-era rhythm linked to Joe Gibbs, Big Youth, Errol Thompson, Jah Lloyd, and Bunny Striker Lee under the Errol T/Lightning name. Dennis Brown’s Money In My Pocket is the key cut here, with Big Youth also turning up on A So We Stay, Mama Look, and Reggae Phenomenon, while later versions like Jackie Edwards and Jah Stitch’s Money In My Pocket and Mikey Dread’s Money And Friend extend the pattern. The set moves through 18 tracks and 15 artists, with the original Dennis Brown song sitting alongside deejay and dub versions that show how widely the rhythm travelled across the 1970s and early ’80s.
