Interesting compilation landing next week, which is Studio One Jump Up – The Birth of a Sound: Jump-Up Jamaican R&B, Jazz and Early Ska on the Soul Jazz label.

Essentially this is the roots of the Studio One unique sound, mixing the first jump-up, boogie-woogie and shuffle recordings made in Jamaica in the late 1950s through to the rhythms of Count Ossie, the ‘Baptist beat’ of Toots and the Maytals and of course ska with tracks by the likes of Bob Marley and The Wailers and the Skatalites. So part history lesson, part document of an era and of course, a collection of the label’s earliest output.

The track listing is below and the album is available on CD, heavyweight vinyl (with free download) and digital download. The CD is £11.99 and the double vinyl is £18.99.
