Superb playlist and what a riddim 😄

Have you heard the mix of every version of John Holt's Ali Baba ever made? Is that the Stalag Riddim? I'm trying to find it, but internet searches are hard!

birmingham81.bsky.social•79 days ago

They’re two different riddims. Here’s a list of Ali Baba versions

And here are six pages (!) of Stalag versions

Yes, but have you heard the mix where they play every version of Ali Baba ever made*?

This is a good one but it doesn’t have them all

You know, I think it may have been The Dynamic Duo, but it was longer & had more versions.

jimllmixit.bsky.social•79 days ago

I think it's this one, but this isn't the original, it's been put up by someone else on Youtube. Thanks to @grooves.bsky.social
