If you have to start anywhere as far as getting an introduction to the essentials of Studio One recordings, this is the item to get. Granted, it might be a bit pricey given that it is a CD/DVD combination… but every track on this CD is excellent. I wish I could say the same about the DVD, which can only be taken in doses. That said, it was a lucky stroke that Coxsone Dodd was given a full interview by the Soul Jazz label people, as he would unfortunately pass away not too longer after this. With that hindsight, it’s quite an emotional documentary, even if it’s a bit too long and uneven. Still, these artists are the seeds to what has influenced the influencers, if you will—that is, influenced not only Western Music—especially hip-hop, but global pop music as well.
