Why Did You Lie Riddim – Discolite

1967’s Why Did You Lie Riddim on Discolite is a lean early ska set built around Dawn Penn’s Why Did You Lie and Tommy McCook and The Supersonics’ Moody Ska. Issued for Discolite with no producer credited in the post notes, it captures that late-60s Jamaican studio feel in a very compact two-track format, with McCook’s Supersonics bringing the instrumental weight behind the cut. Dawn Penn’s vocal piece is the clear anchor here, and the pairing with Moody Ska gives the release a nice balance between singing and horn-driven groove.
