Old Man Say Riddim – Studio One

1968 Studio One rocksteady from Coxsone Dodd, Old Man Say Riddim keeps things tight with just two sides: The Lyrics’ Old Man Say and Dub Specialist’s Old Man Dub. The original song by The Lyrics is a late-’60s Studio One cut tied to Fred Locks’ early days with the group, and the dub version leans into the label’s classic horn-led, echo-heavy style. It’s a small release, but it sits squarely in the Studio One catalogue where Dodd’s production and the house musicians’ feel did so much of the heavy lifting.
