Just a quick one, because I ran into a post at Oliver Wang's trusty Soul Sides that's right up my alley. It features three cuts from the Sister Nancy LP above. One is "Bam Bam" which I happened to post a day later, in a thing about the Stalag riddim, One of the other songs posted is "Roof Over My Head", which O says is based on the same riddim as the Heptones "Gonna Fight". They sound different to me, but it could be that I'm distracted by the horns in the Heptones' song. Regardless, the "Gonna Fight" riddim is another one that seems to have legs, and if you've been paying attention, you'll know that the Heptones featured Leroy Sibbles, who was gushed about here a week ago. Check the "Gonna Fight" entry at Reggae ID. It's no stalag, but has a respectable history nonetheless. Enough of this for now. The riddim rabbit hole is a deep one, and I need to eat dinner.
