1981’s Rainy Days Riddim comes from Linval Thompson and Mickie Scott on an unknown label, a short two-cut roots set that pairs Sammy Dread’s Rainy Days with the dub version Beam Down. The riddim also turns up in the Scientist/Roots Radics orbit, which fits the heavy, stripped-back sound of the era and helps place it firmly in early-’80s Jamaican production. With only two tracks, it keeps the focus tight on the rhythm itself, and Sammy Dread’s cut gives the release its most direct hook.
Rainy Days Riddim Tracklist:
- Dub – Beam Down
- Sammy Dread – Rainy Days
