Some Like It Hot Riddim – Penthouse

Some Like It Hot produced by Niney The Observer, Donovan Germain for Penthouse in 1975

1975 roots reggae gets a sharp Penthouse treatment here, with the Some Like It Hot riddim linked to producer Niney The Observer and Donovan Germain’s label work. Dennis Brown’s title cut anchors the set, while Big Youth, Delroy Wilson and Culture Brown, and the Assassin and Freddie McGregor pairing on Well Cold add plenty of weight to the lineup. The riddim is closely associated with the Penthouse Flashback series, and this version pulls together both classic voices and later revivals from artists like Queen Ifrica, Morgan Heritage and Freddie McGregor, giving the rhythm a long shelf life beyond its original mid-’70s run.
