wich is the riddim of the Leroy Smart's tune "I don't like it" in Superstar LP? thanks

Seems to have originated from The Heptones track "I Am Your Man" from their Studio One album Freedom Line. http://www.roots-archives.com/release/628#rel524 Try this for size. http://www.algoriddim.com/album.php?album_id=1028

I meant to add that "I Don't Like It" and "Wreck Up My Life" are the same track.

And the riddim is well known as "Give Me The Right", which is certainly an alternative title to the Heptone tune.

Big Joe's "Keep Rocking & Swinging" is a (wicked) deejay cut to the Smart's tune.

Everton Da Silva did also a cut of this riddim which he used fo the Laskley Castell's "Jah Children". One of the first tune Castell recorded and one on his best IMO.

there's a wicked Jammy's dub of the tune, also a Dillinger cut "Trial and Crosses" and a saxophone version on the album 'Pure Horn' by Dean Fraser.
Wicked wicked ridim. Didn't know it was originally a studio one;

Dilinger
- Jah show them the way aka Trail and crosses.

I forgot about the Dillinger cut over the Smart's tune. I got it on "Talkin' Blues" LP on Magnum. The cut is extended with a horn cut on second part (and not a real dub so far i remember). The horn cut edited with the Dillinger cut might be the Dean Fraser' one (even if it is "officialy" a Channel One / Hookim prod).

Still on the Smart's cut there is another deejay cut by U Brown calles "Here We Come Again" on the "London Rock" LP

There is perhaps some other instrumental cuts (ie a Mitto one).

There's a good instrumental/dub cut of the Smart/Striker Lee version of this rhythm on the wonderful "Agrovators Meets the Revolutioners at Channel One" album (also on Third World) which has versions of about half the tracks on "Superstar" amongst other cuts including one of "Mr Smart" from the "Dread Hot in Africa" album.

and the u brown version on the london rock lp too. and son's of dust on the umoja [dub] lp / prince jammys johnny clarke's version of give me the right on his disco showcase lp.
