You’re No Good Riddim – Coxsone Records

You’re No Good Riddim comes from Coxsone Records and is listed as a 1978 production by Sidney Crooks and Danny Ray. The two-track set pairs Ken Boothe’s You’re No Good with The Mexicano’s Swing And Sway, keeping the release tightly focused around a classic roots-era vocal cut and a complementary deejay style flip. Boothe’s song draws on one of his better-known titles from the Studio One era, while The Mexicano adds a lighter, dance-friendly contrast that gives the riddim a neat little back-and-forth feel. Sidney Crooks, best known as a member of The Pioneers, brings extra weight to the production credit here, and Coxsone Records places it firmly in that late-70s Jamaican catalog.
