Limited Edition, One-Time Pressing!
Stone-Cold Studio One Killers on Blue Double Vinyl LP!
Features Bob Marley & the Wailers, The Skatalites, Horace Andy, The Heptones & More!

Soul Jazz Records celebrate 25 years of working in partnership with Studio One with 2026 editions of FIVE of their best-selling CLASSIC Studio One collections all released on limited edition one-off pressing colored double vinyl.

The special limited edition featured albums are Studio One Funk, Studio One Dub, Studio One Ska, Studio One Roots and Studio One Classics.

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 Jamaican reggae: Bob Marley, The Heptones, Horace Andy, Sugar Minott, Don Drummond, Prince Jazzbo & 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," Horace Andy's "Fever," Alton Ellis's "I'm Just a Guy," Don Drummond's blazing "Confucious" and loads more. Timeless stuff - every track here is indeed a classic; no one can argue about that!

Studio One produced literally 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 and more.

This is probably the best entry of the many Soul Jazz Studio One releases if you're after a primer in the Studio One sound. Like it says on the wrapper, "Classics" pretty much sums it up.
