Info for Soul Jazz Records presents STUDIO ONE Space-Age Dub Special

Studio One Space-Age Dub Special is a brand-new Studio One release on Soul Jazz Records which draws on more rare and classic dubs taken from the mighty vaults of Studio One Records.

Most of these tracks are taken from Studio One’s superb long out-of-print series of dub albums released between 1974 and 1980 such as Zodiac Sounds, Ital Sounds and System, Roots Dub, Dub Store Special, Juks Incorporation and others. Many of these classic dub albums were originally released only in Jamaica in short-run pressings with special silk-screen printed sleeves all with striking minimal designs, and which now fetch many, many £100s of pounds.

These tracks, credited to the Dub Specialist, use the original music tracks to seminal Studio One rhythms, which are broken down, reconstructed, and manipulated using the studio mixing desk as an instrument. With these albums producer Clement Dodd and engineer Sylvan Morris helped create some of the finest dubs ever known to man or woman!

The cover shows Clement ‘Sir Coxsone’ Dodd in orbit, an image inspired by DJ Lone Ranger‘s 1982 ‘Badda Dan Dem’ album for Studio One, the cover of which portrays Sir Coxsone at the controls of a spaceship with the DJ in space.

The tracks on Studio One Space-Age Dub Special are mainly instrumental cuts with occasional snippets of original vocals brought into the mix. Lone Ranger’s complete vocals feature on ‘A Lie Gal A Tell’, a 6min+ superb dubbed out piece of musical madness. Also included is a selection of rare dub versions that only ever appeared on rare singles.

Soul Jazz Records
is a British record label founded in 1990 by Stuart Baker, specialising in reissues, rarities and compilations. From a record shop in central London's Soho district, Soul Jazz Records has become an institution for good music over the last twenty years. The idea behind Soul Jazz Records is to highlight and uphold the value of music. Not only do they make rare, little-known and unheard sound material available again, but they also give this music a context, locate it by means of compilations, DVDs and books and place it in larger contexts. The world of Soul Jazz Records is full of cross-connections and shows fine lines that connect jazz with post-punk, reggae with bass music, world music with electronica. Here, music still means something.

This album contains no booklet.
