It was not the first, neither the last recut of this classic riddim, that everybody recognizes by it’s characteristic bass line.

Indeed, one of the oldest version of this riddim, might be the version produced by Clement “Coxsone” Dodd for Studio One, on which Slim Smith & The Uniques voiced “I’ll Never Let You Go” in 1967.
