Woman Deh Yah Riddim – Various Labels

Woman Deh Yah produced by Noel Phillips, Bunny Striker Lee, King Tubby, Winston Riley, Phillip Morgan, Oswald Thomas, Witty, Harold McLarty for Witty, Taurus, Techniques, Black Solidarity, Mango, Star Creation in 1987

Produced in 1987 by a wide circle that includes Noel Phillips, Bunny Striker Lee, King Tubby, Winston Riley, Phillip Morgan, Oswald Thomas, Witty, Harold McLarty and others across labels like Black Solidarity, Witty, Taurus, Techniques, Mango and Star Creation, Woman Deh Yah pulls together a strong late-80s dancehall lineup. Bunny General’s Goat Rider, Courtney Melody’s You Turn Me On, General Trees and Echo Minott’s Mr Ruddy, and Little John’s Mud Up are among the best-known cuts on the rhythm, with Papa San, Professor Nuts and Sister Angie also giving it plenty of mileage. The version linked to Phillip Morgan and Oswald Thomas at Black Solidarity is especially central here, while the separate Witty and Taurus cuts help show how widely the riddim traveled through the era.
