1979’s Something On My Mind Riddim from Studio One leans on Coxsone Dodd’s classic catalogue and gathers a mix of Horace Andy cuts, dub versions, and related roots sides, with Badoo, Peter Broggs, and Ranking Joe also appearing in the lineup. Horace Andy’s Something On My Mind is the anchor here, a Studio One favourite that helped define his early run with Dodd, and the set also folds in Dub versions like Free The Children, I’m Gonna Dub You My Mind, and Sahara Dub. The release reflects Studio One’s habit of reworking strong vocal material into fresh dub pressure, making this a deep late-70s Kingston session with both history and version culture on display.
