Brand new collection of Studio One killer tunes, focussing on the late 70s, 80s and beyond.Since the early 1960s Clement 'Sir Coxsone' Dodd had established Studio One as the unparalleled leader in reggae music in the world. In the years that followed he established the careers of countless reggae legends - Bob Marley & The Wailers, Marcia Griffiths, The Skatalites, Horace Andy, Dennis Brown, Burning Spear and many more.From it's inception Studio One had been at the forefront of every major development in reggae music - ska, rocksteady, roots, DJ, dub and, starting in the second half of the 1970s, dancehall.Having attained such great success, by the late 1970s Clement Dodd was free to enjoy Studio One's now firmly established supremacy in reggae music. He released a series of stunning new albums at the end of the decade by Sugar Minott, Johnny Osbourne, Freddie McGregor and others that rode the wave of dancehall and set the path of Studio One's output for the following 25 years.During this period, long-established artists such as Alton Ellis, Jackie Mittoo and others returned to the label, recording some of their most creatively satisfying albums with new music that both celebrated the classic sound of Studio One while continuing to experiment, push boundaries and look forward to the future.This release celebrates this sometimes overlooked golden era at Studio One in the 1970s, 1980s and beyond.
