We Are In The Mood produced by Keeling Beckford, Coxsone Dodd, Sugar Minott, Willie Lindo, Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare for On Top, Studio One, Heavy Beat, Special Delivery, InkAlink, Taxi in 1980

We Are In The Mood Riddim, issued in 1980, pulls together a rootsy selection tied to Keeling Beckford and a wide spread of labels and production names including On Top, Studio One, Heavy Beat, Special Delivery, InkAlink and Taxi. The core cut here is Horace Andy’s We Are In The Mood, with Horace Andy and Errol Scorcher’s Come On and Rock Me giving the set an extra edge and helping anchor the showcase around strong vocal work and a classic early-’80s feel. The tracklist also stretches into later versions, with songs by Glen Washington, Lloyd Brown, Kashief Lindo, King Kong and others adding a mix of singers and deejay energy across the riddim’s different eras. Horace Andy’s presence gives the project extra weight, and the connection to Coxsone Dodd and Studio One keeps it firmly linked to Jamaica’s golden-era catalog.
