Won’t You Come Home Riddim traces a long-running Jamaican melody first cut in 1966 and later revisited across labels tied to Jah Woosh, Lloyd Barnes, Jah Thomas, Winston Riley, Coxsone Dodd, King Jammy, Henry Lawes, George Phang, Bobby Digital, Clive Kennedy, and Richard Bell. Delroy Wilson and Ken Boothe anchor the earliest version, while later takes from Cocoa Tea, Admiral Tibet, Al Campbell, Charlie Chaplin, and Bim Sherman show how widely the tune was reworked into the 1980s and early 1990s. The collection also includes dub cuts like Boulder Move and Problem Dub, which underline how the rhythm moved between vocal sides and sound system-friendly versions over time.
