Produced by Duke Reid and Byron Smith for Treasure Isle, Baron’s and Spinning Wheel, Tom Hark Riddim lands in 1971 with a compact set of versions anchored by Herman Marquis’s Tom’s Version, plus cuts from Tommy McCook, Stranger Cole and U Roy. The lineup leans on Treasure Isle regulars and McCook’s Supersonics, which gives the riddim that sharp, horn-led studio feel Duke Reid’s catalogue is known for. It’s a roots-era instrumental framework with enough room for singers and deejays to stretch out, and Tom Drunk and Crying Every Night help define its most recognisable shape.
