Ride On Dreadlocks Riddim – Unknown Label

In 1973, Bunny Striker Lee steers the Ride On Dreadlocks riddim into a tight roots session for an unknown label, with Linval Thompson’s Ride On Dreadlocks carrying the vocal side and Straight To Babylon Boy’s Head showing up in dub form. It has that early-’70s reggae feel where the rhythm does the heavy lifting, and Thompson’s name gives it extra weight, since he became one of the singers most closely tied to Bunny Lee’s production work. The release is short but focused, built around just those core cuts and the kind of sturdy, pressure-heavy riddim style that made Lee such a dependable hitmaker in that era.
