Can someone give me the lineage of this riddim? Dont think Freddie's is the first or only on it. Thanks.

Many riddims on the I Am Ready LP are originally by the Heptones.
Bredda Labba Labba is from The Heptones - Talkative.

Apparently it never made it on another album, and I don't know if it was a single, perhaps under another title.

Thanks Nicholas! That's good to know. But I know I have heard it somewhere else before too. Just can't place it. So many great riddims trace back to the Heptones, huh?
