My Best Girl produced by Joe Gibbs, Errol Thompson, Duke Reid for Treasure Isle, Stone Cold in 1967
My Best Girl Riddim brings together a classic Treasure Isle foundation from 1967 with later Stone Cold cuts from 2001, linking Duke Reid’s original Paragons song to a set that includes Freddie McGregor’s My Best Girl, George Nooks’ Your Eyes, Bobby Crystal’s Loving You, and Joseph Cotton’s two-part My Best Girl medley. Mark Hudson’s Stone Cold imprint carries the modern side of the rhythm, while Joe Gibbs and Errol Thompson are tied to the dub cut The Marringuna Affair, giving the compilation a nice bridge between vintage rocksteady roots and early-2000s reggae vocals. Joseph Cotton’s pair of versions adds a stronger rootsy touch, and the original My Best Girl remains the anchor that ties the whole release together.
