Right Time Riddim – Well Charge, Penthouse

Right Time produced by Alvin Ranglin, Big Youth, Jo Jo Hookim, Niney The Observer, Donovan Germain for Well Charge, Penthouse in 1975

Right Time Riddim brings together a late-’70s roots foundation with a later Penthouse revisit, drawing on work linked to Well Charge and Penthouse and commonly dated to 1975. The lineup includes Big Youth’s The Wise Sheep and Sugar Sugar with Junior Byles, alongside later versions from Beenie Man, Beres Hammond, Jahmali, Devonte, D Wisdom, L. M. S. , and Dean Fraser and Lenky’s Right Time (Version), which gives the project a wide span across generations. The groove has that classic heavy, meditational feel, but the collection also works as a showcase for how the same rhythm could carry conscious roots cuts in the ’70s and smooth dancehall interpretations in the ’90s. Don’t miss the Big Youth sides, especially the tracks with Junior Byles and The Observers, which anchor the release’s identity.
