STUDIO ONE CLASSICS: A TIMELESS COLLECTION OF REGGAE HITS
Featuring a non-stop selection of the best classic tracks from Studio One Records, this album celebrates the rich musical legacy of the legendary label spanning 40 years.
With Bob Marley, The Heptones, Horace Andy, Sugar Minott, Don Drummond, and Prince Jazzbo among the featured artists, this collection is packed with stone-cold classic Studio One killers.
From Bob Marley and the Wailers’ “Simmer Down” to Carlton & His Shoes’ “Love Me Forever,” Slim Smith’s “Rougher Yet,” and Horace Andy’s “Fever,” this album is a must-have for any Reggae lover. The Skatalites’ blazing ‘Confucious’ and Alton Ellis’s “I’m Just A Guy” are also included among the many legendary tracks that make up this album.
Often referred to as both the University of Reggae and the Motown of Jamaica, Studio One produced hundreds of hits, and this selection features some of the label’s most enduring songs. It’s impossible to imagine modern Jamaican music without the influence of Clement “Coxsone” Dodd, founder of the iconic label, as virtually every singer and musician of note in Reggae cut their teeth at Studio One.
This album is a primer in the Studio One sound, spanning Ska, Dancehall, Roots, Rocksteady, DJ, Lovers, and more. It’s the perfect entry point for anyone looking to explore the world of Studio One Classics. As the wrapper says, “Classics” pretty much sums it up.
