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'.
The accompanying booklet contains extensive sleeve-notes from Studio One historian Rob Chapman (author of Never Grow Old and Downbeat Special), with information on musicians, tracks, label scans and more.
Soul Jazz Records' Studio One Ska Fever is released in CD- jewel case, 24-page booklet with card slipcase, as well as a heavyweight double-vinyl edition in deluxe strong gatefold sleeve (with full sleeve notes) and also as a digital download.

 En tiempos actuales algunos músicos se convierten en legendas después de su fallecimiento

Pero solo algunos músicos tienden a impactar de su gran repertorio musical  como en tal caso de  Augustos Pablo, que prácticamente es legenda y actualmente aun sigue viva si legacía el dejo un gran legado el reggae que  hipnotizó a muchos por su forma de realizarlo  en esta colección puedes sumergirte en el mundo de Pablo lo que fue el reggae para él. 

There are plenty of musicians who are called a legend after they have passed away. There are many more who make a few great records and then live off their perhaps undeserved reputations. But few make such an impact on music as Augustus Pablo, who practically started out as a legend and remains one today. He left behind some of the most hypnotic and original reggae music ever made and this 2CD collection, released with the approval of his estate, makes that clear.

The '17 North Parade' offshoot of the VP record label has been issuing excellent reggae revive albums and compilations for a few years now but this might be their masterpiece which is appropriate as VP records evolved from the Jamaican based Randy's record label which is the subject of this compilation. The package includes two full hour plus music CDs and a "bonus" DVD telling the story of Randy's. Whilst the DVD is a pretty basic affair the story it tells is fascinating for reggae buffs like myself and the wealth of talent involved is amazing for the cognoscenti including many luminaries from the golden age of reggae. The music CDs are just fantastic, CD1 showing the evolution of the music on Randy's through the 1960s from raw R&B inspired ska through rocksteady to early reggae with an extraordinary range of talent including the Maytals, Alton Ellis, Lord Creator, John Holt and even the Wailers. CD2 though is the real deal (and ultimately why I purchased this item) showing what Randy's were up to in their early 70's purple patch with a quite brilliant selection of instrumentals (inc. Pablo's immortal 'Java'), lovers (eg. Alton Ellis' 'Too Late' and Dennis Brown's 'Cheater') and Roots (eg. Senya's 'Children of the Ghetto), all of it good and most of it great. I must also note that the sound quality is straight from the top drawer with the music sounding like it was remastered from the original master tapes, a rarity in reggae reissues believe me. My only wish is that there is enough in the vaults for a second volume, hopefully including 'Rolling Stone' by the Psalms, 'Won't Come Easy' by Sweeny and the Wailers and 'Evil That You Do' by Roots and the Wailers.

 El primer disco recopilatorio editado por Brixton Records y una pequeña degustación de lo que hacíamos en nuestros inicios. Centrado básicamente en ska y rocksteady de la vieja escuela, este cd es, en cierta manera, el germen de lo que Brixton Records es hoy. La portada del disco está inspirada por el famoso disco “Brixton Cat” de mediados de los 60 y la música es el resultado de mezclar a una nueva generación de músicos con las vibraciones de la vieja escuela. No importa de donde vengas, no importa si eres blanco o negro (hay mezcla de culturas en cada una de las bandas) y no importa si haces ska, rocksteady o roots; si respetas tul pasado, tu futuro estará mucho más claro.


First sampler produced by Brixton Records and a small taste of what the label did in the beginnings. Focused basically in old school ska and rocksteady this album is in a way the germ of what Brixton Records is today. The cover is inspired in the famous "Brixton Cat" album from the mid 60’s and the music is the result of mixing a new generation of reggae musicians with the old school vibrations. No matter where you come from, no matter if you’re white or black (there’s mix of cultures in each and every band) and no matter if you do ska , rocksteady or roots; if you respect your past, your future will come up more clearly.
