Another one riddim album for you today, this time from the Penthouse label who were quite popular during the 80's and 90's dancehall scene. This one is a little rarity called "One Riddim - On The Move".
Although it's credited on some versions of this release as a King Jammy's set it was actually produced by Donovan Germaine and is often referred to as the "Pon Mi Nozzle" riddim.
Originally released in 1989 and re-issued a couple of times by Penthouse it's quite tricky to track down a physical copy on vinyl, cassestte or cd.
On The Move is a great riddim that is essentially based on an old religious song called "Troubles And Trials" that has long been popular in Jamaican churches and at some point was taken in by the Reggae music scene.
The closest version on this collection to the original is Chaka Demus' "Chaka On The Move" which has the modified chorus of "It soon be done/all the troubles and trials/when I get home/on the other side".
It was also a chart hit for Shaggy in 1992 and appeared on his album "Pure Pleasure" which also contained his breakthrough track "Oh Carolina".
This riddim is also sometimes credited as the "Pon Mi Nozzle" riddim due to the version by Cutty Ranks, also on this collection, which was a big hit for Cutty at the time.
Other good cuts included here are Flourgan's "Panama Invasion", Peter Metro's "Bow Cat" and Norbert Clarke's "Champion Bubbler".
