Money Worries Riddim – Coxsone, GG’s, Record Globe

Money Worries Riddim dates to 1967 and is tied to Coxsone Dodd, Alvin Ranglin and Joe Gibbs through the Coxsone, GG’s and Record Globe sides that carried it across different moments in Jamaican music. Ernest Wilson’s original Money Worries and his Money Version with The Soul Vendors anchor the set, while later cuts like GG All Stars’ Dub Part Two and Enos McLeod’s 1981 take show how widely the rhythm travelled. It’s a tidy example of a Studio One-era foundation that kept resurfacing through the 1970s and into the early 1980s, with the title track’s money-pressure theme giving the riddim its lasting identity.
