Transparent Blue double vinyl.

New exclusive one-off pressing on Transparent Blue double vinyl 20th anniversary edition. First ever time on coloured vinyl.

‘Studio One DJ’s 2’ is the classic Studio One collection from Soul Jazz Records. Described by Chris Blackwell as ‘The University of Reggae’, Studio One and founder Clement ‘Sir Coxsone’ Dodd are by far the most-important names in the history of reggae music.

The album features classic and rare cuts from some of the finest toasters ever to come out of Jamaica. The album features classic tracks from DJ greats Dennis Alcapone, Lone Ranger, Prince Jazzbo and King Stitt alongside rare tracks from artists

such as Bobby Jackie, Jah Jesco and Little Joe all recorded under Clement ‘Sir Coxsone’ Dodd’s supervision at the legendary Jamaican record company.

Musical backing comes from the legendary in-house bands - The Skatalites, The Sound Dimension, Soul Vendors and Soul Defenders - who provide the classic Studio One rhythms so influential in the history of reggae.

As well as eighteen killer tracks compiled by Mark Ainley (Honest Jons), the album comes with sleevenotes by Steve Barrow (Blood and Fire / Rough Guide to Reggae) and photography by Dennis Morris, making this another essential Studio One Reggae release for connoisseurs of reggae and newcomers alike.

The collection is lauded for its quality and is often considered one of the best releases from Soul Jazz’s ‘Studio One’ series.

“At its best - and that’s what’s offered here on this new Soul Jazz compilation - the classic Jamaican DJ genre offers a perfect blend of coolness and musical exhilaration” - DUSTED
