Sweets For My Sweet Riddim is a 1975 various-label cut linked to Wayne Lonesome, Ainsley Folder, Tero, Kenneth Black and the wider A-Class crew, with the rhythm later turning up on labels like Run Things, Skengdon, Fashion, Xterminator and VP. Delroy Wilson’s Sweets For My Sweet is the key singer here, while the set also includes D. J. All Stars’ Sweets Version, which helps anchor the riddim’s early dub-wise feel. The release pulls its name from the old pop standard but refashions it as a reggae rhythm that kept resurfacing across different labels and eras, from the mid-1970s through later 1980s and 1990s interpretations.
