Swell Headed Riddim – Various Labels

Swell Headed Riddim – Various Labels brings together reggae vocals and dubs across decades, with the rhythm originally associated with Burning Spear’s 1974 Studio One track Swell Headed. The set moves through classic takes like Barry Isaac’s Swell Headed and Swell Headed Dub, plus Burning Spear’s Black Disciples, while later re-interpretations push it into a newer era with Chronixx’s Di Youth Dem Freestyle (2013) and World Under Siege. You also get a clean dub-plus-vocal structure highlighted by tracks such as Clint Eastwood’s Lend Me One Of Your Girlfriend and Eek A Mouse’s dubplate Runaway, keeping the riddim’s lean, bouncing feel at the center of the lineup.
