Tears On My Pillow Riddim – Unknown Label

Bunny Lee’s Tears On My Pillow Riddim dates to 1975 and sits squarely in his mid-’70s roots output, with only two cuts carrying the set: Johnny Clarke’s Tears On My Pillow and The Aggrovators’ Dub On My Pillow. Clarke’s version anchors the riddim with a familiar heartbreak cover style, while the Aggrovators dub keeps it stripped back and heavyweight, the kind of echo-drenched finish that made Bunny Lee productions so recognisable in that era. It’s a short, tidy slice of classic roots material, cut lean and direct, with the vocal and dub pairing giving it the simple, memorable shape that defined a lot of Lee’s catalogue.
