Night Nurse Riddim – Island, Love Promotion

Night Nurse produced by Sugar Minott, Gregory Isaacs, Flabba Holt, Hyman Wright, Percy Chin, Karl Miller, Augustus Clarke for Island, Love Promotion in 1982

Rooted in the 1982 Night Nurse era and credited to Island, Love Promotion, this riddim draws from a strong mix of roots and early dancehall voices, with Gregory Isaacs’ Night Nurse at the center and versions from Barrington Levy, Sugar Minott, Captain Sinbad, Carlton Livingston, Anthony B, Arzu, and Sly and Robbie. The set also reaches into dub with Dub On The Pressure, giving the release a looser, version-heavy feel while keeping the classic Night Nurse bassline at the core. Gregory Isaacs’ original song was one of his signature 1982 records, and the riddim’s spread of singers and deejays shows how widely that tune traveled through the era.
