Studio One Sound

Soul Jazz Records

Format: One-off pressing cerulean blue double vinyl

Studio One Sound is the classic Studio One collection from Soul Jazz Records. Described as ‘The University of Reggae’ by Chris Blackwell, Studio One, and founder Clement ‘Sir Coxsone’ Dodd are by far the most-important names in the history of reggae music.

Originally released in 2012 this album has been out of print for many years making it one of the most-collectible of Soul Jazz Records’ Studio One Series. This is the first ever colour vinyl edition of this classic album.

This album is newly fully remastered for vinyl by Jason Goz at Transition.

The album features some of the most in-demand and collectible Studio One tracks from over its fifty year history and includes incredible legendary reggae artists such as The Heptones, Ken Boothe, The Skatalites, Johnny Osbourne and Wailing Souls. All of these artists (and hundreds more) launched their careers at Studio One under the guidance of Clement 'Sir Coxsone' Dodd.

The Studio One Sound collection features everything from classic ska and rocksteady to the deepest roots, heaviest dub and dancehall roots. Sleevenotes are by Rob Chapman, author of the celebrated books about Studio One Records, 'Never Grow Old' and 'Downbeat the Ruler'

Reviews

‘Knowledge of Studio One is integral to an understanding of reggae. Studio One was a crucial force during the 1960s and 70s, being the true home of ska and a hugely important site of early reggae. Studio One Sound is a sublime set from the label’s heyday. The exceptional track selection makes this one a winner in every sense.’ BBC

‘Carefully mastered and the sound quality is excellent throughout. Studio One Sound is a must have and gives a good overview of the label’s extraordinary output.’ United Reggae

‘Everything’s been remastered for maximum bump-ability while preserving that gritty and smokey Studio One sound.’ Turntable
