Rainy Days produced by Linval Thompson, Mickie Scott for Unknown Label in 1981
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.
