Run Run produced by Coxsone Dodd, Maurice Johnson, Willie Lindo, Wade Brammer for Studio One, Black Scorpio, Heavy Beat, Insight in 1969
Run Run Riddim dates back to 1969 and is anchored by Delroy Wilson’s original Run Run cut, with the same rhythm later carried by a mix of singers and deejays including Dennis Alcapone, Dub Specialist, Freddie McGregor, Johnny Osbourne, Lord Sassafrass, and Natty King. Produced across Studio One, Black Scorpio, Heavy Beat, and Insight, the set traces a long life for the riddim from classic rocksteady-era roots into later revival versions. Coxsone Dodd’s Studio One foundation is at the heart of the earliest version, and the tracklist blends vocal cuts and version-style sides in a way that shows how durable the rhythm has been over the years.
