Sitting And Watching Riddim dates to 1979 and pulls together productions linked to Prince Far I, Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare, Jah Thomas, Witty, Bobby Digital and E. J. Robinson across Taxi, Midnight Rock, Love People, Silver Camel, Digital-B, Top Rank and Fat Eyes. The best-known cut here is Dennis Brown’s title song Sitting And Watching, a smooth roots number that became a lasting Taxi-label favourite, while the set also brings in later versions from Luciano, Sugar Minott, Frankie Paul, Chaka Demus and Pliers and Jah Thomas. Built around a strong dub-heavy foundation, the compilation traces how the same riddim kept moving through different eras and voices, from early reggae roots to 80s and 90s updates.
