Studio One Freedom Sounds is a new collection from Soul
Jazz/Studio One focussing on the intense period in the second half
of the 1960s when Studio One’s vast and unbeatable output of ska,
soul, rock steady and reggae made it literally one of the hottest
musical empires in the world. During this highly successful
period, Clement ‘Sir Coxsone’ Dodd released hundreds and hundreds
of superlative singles seemingly on an almost daily basis, in the
process making huge stars out of Jamaican singers such as Alton
Ellis, Delroy Wilson, The Wailers, Slim Smith, Jackie Opel and many
more.
Powered by the finest in-house musicians working in Jamaica,
whether it was The Skatalites, Jackie Mittoo’s Soul Brothers, The
Sounds Dimension or The Soul Vendors, Studio One functioned as hit
factory on the scale of Motown in the USA, shaping and defining
reggae music for decades to come. Singlehandedly Studio One’s
founder Clement Dodd was able to create the most successful
vertically-integrated record company that Jamaica had ever known
with pressing plant, printers, studio, shops, and sound systems all
running at once, with over 50 employees and hundreds of artists
working with Studio One during this time.
Studio One Freedom Sounds tells the story of Studio One in the
1960s with a stunning set of ska, soul, rock steady and reggae
killer tunes as well as informative sleevenotes and track-by-track
info by Noel Hawks. The album is released as heavyweight double
vinyl.
