Check 'African Rub A Dub' on Studio 1 LP for killer dubs to 'Every Tongue' & 'Truths & Rights' by Dub Specialist & Sound Dimension. Recommended!

other riddims based on 'Every Tongue Shall Tell':
'Children Of The Ghetto' / Senya & The Wailers Band (Impact!)
'Automatic' / King Everall (Firehouse)

other riddims on 'Truths & Rights' include:
'Beat Street Rock' / Augustus Pablo (Rockers)
'Take A Ride Version' / Dub Specialist (from Soul Jazz Studio 1 Dub)

There are indeed literally hundreds of versions to the songs mentioned, which themselves are versions to the original riddims.
Just wanted to mention that the Al Campbell who is named on 'Take a ride' is not the same as the famed singer who nowadays resides in England and gave us so many fine Lovers & Roots tunes from the 70s until today...

Earl Zero, Jah Wally Stars & Rising Son recorded for JA labels New Flower & Addis Ababa. Producer on these sides was by Allan Campbell (not related to the two Al Campbells mentioned above).

Thanks for all the info Bellyman & Jackie Pablo. The (Studio One) Al Campbell also recorded 'Last Dance' (1970) at Studio 1 as a member of The Thrillers along with Barry Dunn, Kenneth & Buzzy Michelle Black.

Check riddimbase.org. It's not perfect but it's the most accurate.

Jah Love Music used to run a Tony Tuff cut of Truth & Rights. Early 80's Channel One cut. Great style.
