Please Officer Riddim – King Jammy’s Records

Please Officer Riddim – King Jammy’s Records is a late-1970s roots set from 1979, centered on Earl Zero’s Please Officer and the companion cut Pablo In Moonlight City by King Jammy and Augustus Pablo. King Jammy is credited with the production, and the release leans on a compact two-track structure that pairs a vocal with a strong instrumental-style follow-up built around Pablo’s melodica line. Earl Zero’s performance has remained one of his best-known roots sides, while Augustus Pablo’s presence gives the riddim its deeper, more meditative edge. The result is a short, focused slice of vintage reggae with a smoky, dubwise feel and a clear melody-led groove.
