Issued in 1982 on Volcano Records, Principle Riddim was produced by Henry Lawes and keeps things lean with just two cuts: Leroy Smart’s Principle and Yellowman and Fathead’s Come When I Call You. The pairing brings together a smooth vocal turn from Leroy Smart and the unmistakable energy of Yellowman alongside Fathead, with the latter track tied directly to Lawes’ Volcano production work from the same year. As a late-era early-’80s dancehall piece, it reflects the stripped-back, singer-and-deejay approach that helped define the period.

- Leroy Smart – Principle
