V/A – Studio One Ska Fever!

Description

2LP Vinyl – SJR LP271

A blistering collection of ska tunes from Clement 'Sir Coxsone' Dodd's legendary Studio One Records, Jamaica's foundation label of reggae music. Featuring  classic cuts from the originators of Ska – The Skatalites, The Wailers, Lee Perry –  alongside a heavy dose of superb rarities from the might vaults of 13 Brentford Road – pure Ska Fever !

Soul Jazz Records new Studio One Ska Fever returns back to the early 1960s – when Ska was the soundtrack to Jamaica's Independence and Sir Coxsone ruled the land and The Skatalites and Studio One were creating history on a daily basis with an endless stream of blistering, scorching classic tunes.

This album includes an incredible line-up of only the finest artists in reggae music, including Roland Alphonso, The Gaylads, The Ethiopians, Don Drummond, Jackie Opel and many more. An all-star cast from Studio One, as Chris Blackwell famously noted, the 'University of Reggae'.
