The album is filled with a mixture of seminal cuts and super-rarities from the vast vaults of 13 Brentford Road. \/\/ Stand-out tracks include Alton Ellis's 'Blackish White', a surreal and powerful Afro-centric dream, Count Ossie's Rastafarian drummers' genre-defying interpretation of Booker T and The MGs 'Meditation', Willie Williams awe-inspiring versioning of the Skatalites' seminal Rastafari anthem 'Addis Ababa' and many, many more. \/\/ Original sleevenotes by Lloyd Bradley (author of When Reggae Was King), compiled by Mark Ainley (Honest Jons), high-quality Soul Jazz mastering, wicked images of Count Ossie and the Mystic Revelation of Rastafari on the cover, and a rare image of Clement Dodd and musicians inside the studio at Studio One on the full colour inner sleeves. \/\/ \"The music of this compilation is of a rare, rare beauty and is essential to anyone's reggae collection.\" All Music\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 The Cyclones with Count Ossie - Meditation \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Cornell Campbell - Natty Don't Go \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Freddie McGregor - Africa Here I Come \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Bunnie ; Skitter - Lumumbo \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Willie Williams - Addis a Baba \u003cbr\u003e1.6 L Crosdale - Set Me Free \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Leroy Wallace - Far Beyond \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Lennie Hibbert - More Creation \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Alton Ellis - Blackish White \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Winston Jarrett - Fear Not \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Devon Russell - Drum Song \u003cbr\u003e1.12 The Gaylads - Africa \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Black Brothers - School Children \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Linton Cooper - You'll Get Your Pay \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Sound Dimension - Congo Rock \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Zoot Simms - African Challenge\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Soul Jazz Records Presents","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42890183802951,"sku":"46202406","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4511842-3597818.jpg?v=1781952519","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/soul-jazz-records-presents-studio-one-roots-compact-discs","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
