thnx

I'm thrilled that you're asking rhythm questions on this forum. We need more rhythm talk.

The first sounds like Alton Ellis - Rock Steady.

The second is Techniques - My Girl.

I can't identify the third.

are you sure about the first one?

No I'm not sure but that's my best guess.

It's not Rocksteady. It's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't remember!! This is going to drive me crazy...

The first one sounds alot like Rocksteady by Alton Ellis, but not totally, so i think its a "stand alone" riddim

The second one is 100% Techniques - My Girl riddim.

The 3rd one sounds like Woman Go Home by The Jamaicans

The Techniques tune is Treasure Isle not Studio One.

Unless it's a Studio One recut. (Which sounds exactly the same).

yeh sounds alike but is a different one

The third tune is "get ready rocksteady" aka "get ready its rocksteady" by the Soul agents on Studio one.
The dub is called "ready rock" by dub specialist and can be found on the "better dub" album.

This riddim was later used by Culture on "get ready to ride the lion to zion" on the " 2 sevens clash" album for Joe Gibbs.
