Various - The Best of Studio One Collection
(4 CD box set) Heartbeat HBEA326, 2006-07-25

Nearly every major Reggae artist in Jamaica first recorded for Clement "Coxsone" Dodd. While most Reggae fans are familiar with Bob Marley, Burning Spear and Dennis Brown, few know the person instrumental in discovering and nurturing these artists. This was Mr. C.S. Dodd - "Coxsone" - and nearly every Jamaican artist of note got his or her start in Coxsone's Studio One stable. First released over twenty years ago, these albums are newly remastered from the best source material with twenty-one additional tracks added for your listening pleasure. A bonus disc, 'Rebel Discomixes,' is including in this box set. It adds six extended remixes previously available only with the two disc vinyl editions of 'Best of Studio One,' 'Full Up: More Hits from Studio One,' and 'Downbeat the Ruler: Killer Instrumentals from Studio One.' More respect to Studio One!

Includes The Lone Ranger - The Answer
