VA / Soul Jazz Records Presents - STUDIO ONE CLASSICS

Soul Jazz Records celebrate 25 years of working in partnership with Studio One with brand new editions of five of their best selling classic Studio One collections, released as special edition card wallet CD (where applicable) and one-off pressing coloured double vinyl editions. 

‘STUDIO ONE CLASSICS’ features a non-stop selection of stone-cold classic Studio One killers! Spanning 40 years of the legendary label, this album is a celebration of the music of Studio One Records and features a who’s who of Jamaicanr Reggae: Bob Marley, The Heptones, Horace Andy, Sugar Minott, Don Drummond, Prince Jazzbo and more. 

This collection contains numerous legendary tracks, including Bob Marley and The Wailers’ ‘Simmer Down’, ‘Love Me Forever’by Carlton & His Shoes, Slim Smith’s ‘Rougher Yet’, HoraceAndy’s ‘Fever’, Alton Ellis’s ‘I’m Just A Guy’, The Skatalites’blazing ‘Confucious’ and loads more.

Studio One produced hundreds of hits and this selection includes some of the label’s most enduring songs. It is simply impossible to imagine modern Jamaican music without Clement ‘Coxsone’ Dodd, founder of the iconic Studio One where virtually every singer and musician of note in reggae cut their teeth.

Studio One's output spans over four decades, all represented here. Coxsone Dodd pioneered nearly every new form of Jamaican music as it developed over time and this album includes Ska, Dancehall, Roots, Rocksteady, DJ, Lovers andmore.

If you’re after a primer on the Studio One sound, this is probablythe best entry of the many Soul Jazz Studio One releases.
