Perfidia Riddim – Various Labels

Perfidia produced by Duke Reid, Blackbeard, Wooligan, Gregory Isaacs, Beres Hammond, Donville Davis for Treasure Isle, World Enterprise, Eye To Eye, African Museum, VP, Charm in 1967

Perfidia Riddim brings together a loose set of versions on the classic 1967 rocksteady cut first produced by Duke Reid for Treasure Isle, with later label names and producers attached across reissues and reinterpretations. The lineup here reaches from Phyllis Dillon’s original Perfidia to later takes by Pam Hall, Leroy Brown, Q. , Donna Marie, and Beres Hammond, with Beres’ No More and Dillon’s 1967 cut among the key draws. Duke Reid’s Treasure Isle sound gives the riddim its identity, and the project leans into that warm, melody-led rocksteady feel rather than chasing anything modern or heavy.
