No No No Riddim – Midnight Rock, Studio One, Def Jam

No# No# No produced by Jah Thomas, Coxsone Dodd, King Jammy, Michael Chin, Prince Far I, Augustus Clarke, Alvin Ranglin, Joe Gibbs, Errol Thompson, Steely, Clevie, Dwayne Chin-Quee for Midnight Rock, Studio One, Def Jam in 1967

Jah Thomas, Coxsone Dodd and the Midnight Rock/Studio One camp are tied to this No No No riddim set, with a release date that points back to 1967 and a selection that reaches from rocksteady into later dancehall and dub. Dawn Penn’s No, No, No anchors the lineup, while Big Youth’s Concrete Jungle and Bounty Killer’s You’ve Got Me Waiting show how the same pattern kept resurfacing across different eras. The set also folds in dub cuts like Behind Iron Bars and Hello, Love Brother, which gives it a darker, more stripped-back feel. As a piece of catalog history, it sits right at the crossroads of Studio One roots, later Midnight Rock work, and the long life of a tune that stayed recognizable well beyond its original moment.
