Want A Wine Riddim – Unknown Label

In 1972, Lee Scratch Perry’s Want A Wine Riddim for an unknown label paired a lean three-track set with Leo Graham’s Want A Wine, The Upsetters’ Double Wine, and U Roy’s Stick Together. It has that early Perry-era energy and a tight, dubby groove that keeps the whole package moving without wasting a note. The release is especially notable for bringing together Leo Graham and U Roy with The Upsetters, two names that fit Perry’s vocal-and-version style well, and the title track’s wine-themed cut makes the whole riddim feel like a small, focused session rather than a sprawling compilation.
