Shame And Scandal Riddim – WIRL, Greensleeves

Shame And Scandal Riddim – WIRL, Greensleeves is a 1966 roots-to-calypso crossover built by Edward Seaga, Byron Lee, Ronnie Nasralla, and Chris Cracknell for WIRL, later associated with Greensleeves. The release centers on a very compact two-track selection, pairing Lord Jellicoe’s original 1966 cut with Clint Eastwood and General Saint’s 1982 version, which keeps the focus squarely on the song’s enduring hook and playful family-argument storyline. It’s a neat, vocal-led slice of old-school Jamaican music history, with the later cover showing how the tune kept working for a new generation.
