1970’s Woman Of The Ghetto Riddim pulls together a deep early-70s reggae set around Phyllis Dillon’s Woman Of The Ghetto, with key cuts from Hortense Ellis, I-Roy, Prince Francis, Prince Jazzbo, and Tommy McCook and The Supersonics. The music ties in a mix of Studio One, Treasure Isle, Bongo Man, SRS, Iron Side, Impact! , and Trojan-era production work, linked here to names like Coxsone Dodd, Duke Reid, Clive Chin, Rudolph Redwood, and I-Roy. It also folds in versions such as Sidewalk Doctor and Stupid Doctor, giving the compilation a strong roots-to-sound-system feel and a clear snapshot of how that riddim moved across labels and voices in Kingston at the time.
