Ting A Ling produced by Coxsone Dodd, Kenneth Black for Studio One, Skengdon in 1967
1967 rocksteady is the right frame for Ting A Ling Riddim, a Studio One/Skengdon showcase built on Coxsone Dodd and Kenneth Black’s classic production. The package pulls from one of Studio One’s key Heptones cuts, with the original Ting A Ling at the center and later versions and flips from Johnny Osbourne, Prince Jazzbo, Glen Washington, JD Smoothe and Dub Specialist giving it a broad roots-to-dub spread. That mix makes the release feel like both a vintage roots document and a later-era reworking session, with the Heptones’ original recording anchoring the whole thing.
