Soul Jazz Records Presents - Studio One Dub

Super hard-hitting Studio One Dub features classic and rare Dub tracks from Studio One, many available on vinyl for the first time in over thirty years. Included here are the dub versions of many classic tracks such as Horace Andy’s “Skylarking”, Johnny Osbourne’s “Truth and Rights”, John Holt’s “Hooligan”, Freddie McGregor’s “Bobby Bobylon” plus a host of super-rare dub cuts. This album also comes complete with two rare interviews - one with Clement 'Sir Coxsone' Dodd talking about dub and dubplates, and one with sound engineer Sylvan Morris, talking about his ground-breaking period at Studio One and his many innovations that he evolved there. In short, this is a 100% essential album! "Almighty slab of dub featuring loads of rare and classic dub versions of Studio One's foundation tracks." Rough Trade “Quite a treat awaiting here for the unsuspecting reggae faithful - as always with Soul jazz chock full of a bunch of big tunes - but here in version form lies some of the freshest rhythms and most radical revisions of some of the greatest Studio One music. The darkest and the absolute deepest in the series - naturally essential. “Soul Jazz’s Studio One Dub collection cannot help but to serve as loving tribute to Sir Coxsone Dodd. This giant of a man not only defined popular music for the isle of Jamaica, but for the world over, his innovations laying the foundations for hip-hop, dance and post-rock.” “Dodd's dubs drew on such a fertile ground of classic Jamaican rhythms that he rarely missed. As such, it's difficult to find fault with the versions presented here and many of these cuts are ridiculously rare.” Pitchfork
