Trenchtown in the ’60s was home to more stars than Hollywood, and they all passed through the gates of Studio One, the seminal and legendary Kingston, Jamaica, recording studio. This exquisitely remastered volume in Heartbeat’s landmark Studio One series brings together the finest singing and instrumental talent to come out of that blessed isle. The Wailers (Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny “Wailer” Livingston) are joined here by Bob Andy (second only to Marley as a songwriter); Ken Boothe (still among Jamaica’s vocal elite); Jackie Opel, first lady of reggae; Marcia Griffiths; and others. The Studio One stable of jazz musicians who backed them–including the late saxophonist Roland Alphonso and guitar legend Ernest Ranglin–were responsible for creating that blend of New Orleans R&B and mento (a Jamaican folk music akin to calypso) known as ska, and oversaw its development into rock steady, and, finally, in the early ’70s, into reggae. Many of those same musicians would soon unite for one astonishingly prolific year as the Skatalites. Almost all the singers, captured here in the raw and thrilling infancy of their careers, went on to international stardom. –Elena Oumano
