THE CHAIN

Tracks that have been covered multiple times, preferably in different time periods and/or with radical reinterpretations. Riddims acceptable as long as each version brings something new, as are samples, motifs, melody, basslines - if they form a significant element of the next tune.

1968, Stax beauty


1972, rocksteady version. Wonderful, ghostly backing vocals on this. Riddim subsequently made famous by Delroy Wilson's Have Some Mercy.


1986, pure evil, a perversion of all that came before.


1998 - nuff said

Jaguar Jonez was pipped at the post to represent Oz at the Eurovision 2020 last week
