Various Artists - Studio One Scorcher Vol. 2

A stellar line-up of Jamaica's finest ever musicians. This album features many of the musicians involved with studio one who literally defined reggae music. From the skatalites members tommy mccook, roland alphonso and jackie mittoo to killer sidemen such as trombonist vin gordon (aka don drummond jnr), saxophonist cedric im brooks, keyboardist and twelve tribes of israel member pablove black. Many of the rhythms that these musicians created became the backbone of the jamaican musical world and their songs have been replayed and re-versioned by 1000s of reggae producers ever since. The album features classic and super-rare tracks all recorded under clement sir coxsone dodds supervision at the legendary recording studio and record label. As well as seventeen killer tracks, the album comes with new sleevenotes and photography by dennis morris and adrian boot, making this another essential studio one reggae release for connoisseurs of reggae and newcomers alike.
