    Peanut Vendor Riddim - African Museum, Jah Life, Joe Frasier

    Peanut Vendor produced by Bunny Striker Lee, Gregory Isaacs, Hyman Wright, Lloyd Campbell, Michelle Campbell, Tinga Stewart for African Museum, Jah Life, Joe Frasier in 1981

    Cut in 1981 and linked to African Museum, Jah Life and Joe Frasier, Peanut Vendor Riddim brings together a heavyweight mix of roots-era voices and later cuts on the same groove. Gregory Isaacs’ Top Ten is the key anchor here, with Jackie Edwards’ Pretty Star, Tinga Stewart’s Dream Of Me and the dub version Peanut Vendor Dub adding extra weight to the set. The rhythm is tied to Bunny Striker Lee and a wider production circle that includes Hyman Wright and Lloyd Campbell, which helps explain its deep classic-reggae feel. As a side note, Peanut Vendor is a longtime Jamaican favorite built on a melody that had already traveled far outside reggae before this version gave it a distinct island shape.
