This album is a celebration of the music of Studio One Records’ seminal Ska releases and features a who’s who of some of the most important artists in the history of reggae music. // Reviews: “Ripping Ska compilation. The sound is tremendous as well thanks to Studio One recording techniques – already superior at the birth of Reggae – and Soul Jazz mastering.
