Soul Jazz Records brings the legendary Coxsone Dodd's Studio One catalogue back into the spotlight with Studio One Showcase 45 (Expanded Edition), a deep dive into the mid-1970s golden era of Jamaican reggae. Drawing from the iconic label's storied vault of 45s, this compilation features an all-star roster that includes Bob Marley & The Wailers, Horace Andy, Jackie Mittoo, Freddie McGregor, and Johnny Osborne, among others — a true who's who of reggae royalty.
This expanded edition builds upon the beloved 2019 release by adding eight bonus tracks of Studio One classics and rarities, making it an even more comprehensive survey of the label's incredible output. Presented as a super double-vinyl album with excellent sleeve notes by Lloyd Bradley — author of the seminal reggae history book Bass Culture: When Reggae Was King — this is an essential listen for reggae enthusiasts and a worthy addition to any serious record collection.
