Mr Fix It Riddim – Various Labels pulls together a 1969 foundation cut produced by Bunny Striker Lee, Coxsone Dodd, Jo Jo Hookim, Ranking Joe and Lloyd Campbell across Striker Lee, Studio One, Hitbound, Vista, Heartbeat and Joe Frasier, with a lineup that runs from Winston Francis, Dennis Brown, Cornell Campbell and Cocoa Tea to later interpretations by Sugar Minott, Jackie Edwards and Max Romeo. The set leans on that classic roots framework and mixes straight vocal versions with a few later reworkings, including Baby Wayne and Winston Francis on the title tune and Cornell Campbell’s Where I Stand. It also hints at how long the song has travelled through reggae history, with covers stretching from the 1970s through the 2000s. The release plays like a broad jukebox of one enduring riddim, rooted in deep old-school Jamaican production and carried by a strong cross-generation vocal cast.
