My Jamaican Girl Riddim – Beverly’s, Soul Beat, Big Ship

My Jamaican Girl produced by Leslie Kong, Jimmy Riley, B.B. Seaton, Pete Weston, Stephen McGregor, Dalton Browne, Noel Browne for Beverly’s, Soul Beat, Big Ship in 1971

My Jamaican Girl Riddim was cut in 1971 for Beverly’s, Soul Beat and Big Ship, with Leslie Kong, Jimmy Riley, B. B. Seaton, Pete Weston, Stephen McGregor, Dalton Browne and Noel Browne all linked to the production credits. The five-track set brings together Beverley’s All Stars, The Gaylads, The Conscious Minds, Max Romeo and Freddie McGregor, with the Gaylads’ My Jamaican Girl, Max Romeo’s My Jamaican Collie and Freddie McGregor’s later take giving the riddim its best-known moments. It’s a tidy example of early Jamaican studio work, with the original version side sitting alongside vocal cuts that stretch from roots-era recordings to a later 1996 revisit.
