Surfin’ produced by Coxsone Dodd, Henry Lawes for Studio One, Volcano Records in 1979
Surfin’ Riddim was issued in 1979 on Studio One and Volcano Records, produced by Coxsone Dodd and Henry Lawes, and it keeps the lineup tight with just three cuts across four credited artists. Ernest Ranglin’s original Surfin’ leads the set, followed by Surfin’ (Part 2) with Sound Dimension, before Yellowman and Fathead bring in Jah Jah Are We Guiding Star in 1983. The release leans into a clean Studio One groove with a nice balance of instrumental and vocal material, and it also shows how Ranglin’s guitar style could sit comfortably beside deejay energy.
Surfin’ Tracklist:
- Ernest Ranglin – Surfin’ (1979)
- Ernest Ranglin & Sound Dimension – Surfin’ (Part 2) (1979)
- Yellowman & Fathead – Jah Jah Are We Guiding Star (1983)
