    Words Of My Mouth Riddim - Zola, African Star

    Words Of My Mouth produced by Lee Scratch Perry, Glenn Osborne, Glen Adams, Morris White, Peter Jonker, Stuart Brown for Zola, African Star in 1973

    Words Of My Mouth Riddim brings together material from the Zola and African Star camp, with the notes pointing to a 1973 root in Lee Scratch Perry’s orbit and later cuts from names like Augustus Pablo, The Gatherers, Prince Jazzbo, and The Upsetters. The track list mixes classic vocal sides such as The Gatherers’ Words Of My Mouth and Prince Jazzbo’s Rubba, Rubba Words with dub and version cuts, including Meditation Dub and Words Version, giving the set a clear roots-to-dub feel. It also links back to Perry’s wider early-’70s output, which is a big part of the riddim’s character and lasting appeal.
