Favourite Studio One "Long Players"

[matt]

Just found a nice US repress of The Ethiopian Everything Crash...for me a wonderful long player from the Studio One label.

[matt]

Juha's extension of this LP is worthy of "official" re-issue by Heartbeat or SoulJazz

[mse]

my favourite studio one LP is Macka Fat by Jackie Mittoo and i play it most weeks but this is so closely followed by born to love- slim smith (much prized new york release) that they are inter-changeable in my esteem

special mention also for keep your eyes on jesus - ken parker(rob chapman pirate cd) and some incredible music (12" &other rarities) also pirated for me , this time by yms

creation and more creation - lennie hibbert

best of rolando alphanso

are also in the reckoning for 'most reached' for as is my own s/one instrumentals compilation which i run on a very long playing mini disk

also run hard on mini disk longplayer are studio one peter's 1991 brighton festival radio set and my own (with daddy studio one and gb)mr dodd birthday tribute broadcast on style uk (battersea) on the day of mr dodd's 70th , 26/1/02. tapes of this heartfelt tribute were later (may 2002) given to mrs dodd , then in brooklyn.

incidentally i am after a cd copy of macka fat - i think it came on studio one masters but i never saw it yet

otherwise, with over 150 more to choose from... the regularly 'reached for' are

songbook - bob andy
on top - heptones
all star top hits (v/a)
jackie mittoo showcase
what kind of world - cables (new york release)
love me forever - carlton & his shoes
best of studio one (1) heartbeat v/a
best of studio one (2) heartbeat v/a
downbeat the ruler heartbeat v/a
best of alton and hortense ellis heartbeat cd
alton ellis sings rock and soul
live loving - sugar minott
presenting burning spear
the other burning spear, all ethiopians, wailing souls, gladiators, johnny osbourne, jennifer lara
a man and his hits - ken boothe
badda dan dem- lone ranger
more scorcher from studio one (2)
.........

you get the picture.........

Johnny Osbourne - Truth & Rights
closely followed by Bob Andy - Songbook

Presenting Larry Marshall
Picture on the wall....Freddie Mckay
are 2 that are never far away

This is a tough one. Still, have to say I agree with MSE according to the Slim Smith 'Born To Love' album. Together with 'Presenting' by Larry Marshall it was the album that got me into Studio One.

coxsone all the way !!

[Downbeat Special]

My favourite:

SOUL BEAT - The Gaylads. The Studio One CD with extra tracks is an essential purchase in my opinion.

I've got a throughly bad press on vinyl - I may have to search out the CD...

[skitter]

It is still 'Ska Authentic' by the Skatalites. I agree that 'Everything Crash', 'Truths And Rights' 'Boby Babylon', 'Live Loving' and 'Songbook' are also great albums.

For me, all of the above plus Freddy McKays "Picture on the wall", Jennifer Lara's "Presenting" and Jackie Mitoo's 1982 "Showcase" LP.

i´d say presenting and rocking time from burning spear and skylarking from horace andy
