Satisfaction Riddim – Various Labels

Satisfaction produced by Coxsone Dodd, Bunny Striker Lee for Santic, Hitbound, Studio One, Third World, Jackpot, Ethnic in 1968

Originally cut in 1968 and credited here to various labels, Satisfaction Riddim pulls together versions tied to Coxsone Dodd, Bunny Striker Lee, Santic, Hitbound, Studio One, Third World, Jackpot and Ethnic. John Holt and The Paragons anchor the set with the original Satisfaction, while Johnny Clarke and Trinity bring later 1979 cuts, Barbara Jones turns in her 1981 take, and I-Roy and Jah Thomas add DJ-style interpretations. The riddim moves cleanly across rocksteady into reggae-era revisits, which is part of why it kept getting voiced by different producers over the years.
