The Old Days Riddim – Magnet Collection Vol 7

By the time Magnet landed The Old Days Riddim as Vol. 7 in its collection, the label had already settled into a tidy run of concise reggae sessions, and this one keeps the focus on warm lovers-rock feel rather than heavy roots weight. The four-track set moves with an easy midtempo sway and a softly nostalgic mood, giving Lukie D’s “Love Fight” and Winston Reedy’s “Forever Love” the kind of cushiony groove they can really sit in. Donovan Kingjay’s “Living Ain’t Easy” adds a rougher edge to the same rhythm, while Sarah Tobias closes it out with the title cut, which feels like the most reflective moment here and a fitting finish for a short, no-filler set.
