Pistol Boy Riddim – Manic Records

Pistol Boy Riddim came out in 1979 on Manic Records, with production credit split between Mikey Man and Keith Hudson. The set is a tight three-track showcase featuring Mikey Man’s Sid Vicious - Murder alongside Militant Barry’s Pistol Boy and Screw Natty Dread Locks, giving the riddim a lean, early-era feel rather than a crowded modern lineup. Keith Hudson’s name adds real weight here, since his 1970s productions helped shape some of reggae’s tougher, more stripped-down roots sides, and that edge comes through in the small but memorable selection. Militant Barry gets the main spotlight with both of his cuts, while the Mikey Man tune rounds out the release with a different vocal angle on the same rhythm.
