You’re No Good Riddim – Unknown Label

You’re No Good Riddim, credited to Don Mais for Unknown Label and dated to 1975, is a lean three-cut roots session anchored by Phillip Fraser’s title tune, Toyan’s Live Good, and the Dub Livity version. Don Mais also turns up on Phillip Fraser’s 1975 recording history for the same riddim, which helps place this as one of his early mid-70s productions. With just one vocal from Fraser, one from Toyan, and a dub cut, the release keeps a tight focus and lets the rhythm carry the mood, giving it a straightforward, heavyweight character that suits its 1960s-80s archive spot.
