wow, thanx a lot brethren, this helps me out a lot.
my band is trying to figure out a song using this riddim (heaviliy overused, but groovie for sure). I found significant differences between the Dodd produced version against the Augustus Pablo pruductions. I like the former more, it has a rootsier feeling than the original by the the Soul Vendors.

Sidenote: The reggaepedia? AMAZING!!!

the "proper" bassline is the Soul Vendors though.
I love the Dennis Brown / Pablo cut too.
