New - V/A - Soul Jazz Records presents STUDIO ONE SHOWCASE 45 (Expanded Edition) - 2xLP

Studio One’s treasured 45s is an ideal entry portal and flawless selection for fresh ears and veterans alike. Formerly a 5 x 7” boxset, now available on 2LP and CD, the expanded edition covers the breadth of Studio One’s golden years in a newly shuffled track sequence omitting some pearls and replacing them with others, such as Jackie Mittoo’ ‘James Bond’ swapped for the funky bustle of ‘Mixing’, and the inclusion of Bob Marley’s skanking ‘One Love’ anthem along with the soulful grip of Horace Andy on ‘Mamie Blue’ and Cornell Campbell’s ’No Man’s Land’. Check also for big highlights in Liberation Group’s nagging stepper ’Namibia’, the ghostly croon of Winston Francis on ‘Love Me Today, Not Tomorrow’, and foundational business in The Heptones’ ‘How Can I Leave You’, thru early dancehall in Lone Ranger’s ‘Dance a Fe Cork’.
