Christmas albums are pretty limited in their playability aside from one month out of the year, but if you are going to be listening to a Christmas album, it might as well be Christmas Greetings from Studio One. Forget the usual weak versions of holiday favorites, this record has some of reggae’s greatest performers giving seasons greetings the tropical, Caribbean way. Highlights include the Silvertones feel-good “Bling Bling Christmas,” Alton Ellis’ groovy “Praise Jah, It’s Christmas” one of the coolest Christmas tunes ever recorded and Toots and the Maytals totally unbeatable “Christmas Feeling Ska” (skankin’ around the Christmas tree, anyone?). Plus as a bonus track, there’s Bob Marley’s truly enchanting cover of “White Christmas” done in glorious lo-fi. You can’t go wrong, unless it’s not December.

This assortment of rare and previously unreleased songs from the trio that later became the world’s greatest reggae band offers insight into Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer’s musical beginnings. Then known as Nesta Marley, Peter McIntosh, and Bunny Livingstone, the three teens recorded reams of ska, pop, soul, doo-wop, and any other style producer Clement “Sir Coxsone” Dodd requested. Dodd was the father of the Jamaican hit record in the ’60s and his renowned Studio One was the home of his hit factory. Despite poor recording quality and a selection of mostly obscure tunes not found on other Wailers collections, this set will please the hardcore Wailers fan. Previously unreleased tracks are included as well as ska favorites “Don’t Ever Leave Me” and “Do It Right.” The ska cuts are the highlights; the doo-wop and American covers are worthy for the sake of history. If you’re tracing the career of Bob Marley or the Wailers, this is essential to understanding their point of origin. –Karen Karleski
