Moving Away produced by Coxsone Dodd, Bunny Striker Lee, Prince Tony Robinson, Jo Jo Hookim, Bobby Digital, Gregory Isaacs, Morris Johnson, Cocoa Tea for Studio One, Digital-B, Roaring Lion in 1975
Moving Away Riddim – Studio One, Digital-B, Roaring Lion dates back to 1975 and traces its roots to Prince Tony Robinson’s original production before the rhythm later resurfaced through Coxsone Dodd, Bunny Lee, Jo Jo Hookim, Bobby Digital, Gregory Isaacs, Morris Johnson and Cocoa Tea across different labels. The selection mixes dub cuts with vocal versions, and the best-known pulls here include U-Roy’s African Message, Ken Boothe’s Moving Away, Half Pint’s Life Worth Living, and Garnett Silk’s It’s Growing, with Bobby Digital’s 1991 Digital-B sides giving the rhythm a cleaner digital-era feel. Roaring Lion adds another layer in the late-’90s with Anthony Selassie’s What A Night and other roots-minded cuts, while Dub Specialist’s Moving Dub keeps the foundation version in the spotlight.
