The new edition featured albums are Studio One Funk, Studio One Dub, Studio One Ska, Studio One Roots and Studio One Classics. Studio One Funk is made up of rare and unreleased Reggae Funk from the vaults of Studio One. Since the birth of Funk in America, the sound has been an ever-present ingredient in the melting pot of Studio One’s musical output. The music here is a combination of originals and USA soul and funk covers. Jackie Mittoo shows his appreciation for Booker T and The MGs, the studio group at Memphis’ famous Stax Records with a previously unreleased version of ‘Hang Em High’. Booker T’s super-funky ‘Melting Pot’ is also covered by the little-known Underground Vegetables. Other covers include Isaac Hayes’ classic ‘Shaft’ by Cedric Brooks - another unreleased gem, straight from the master tapes. Motown gets a look in with Alton’s stripped-down version of the Spinners classic ‘It’s A Shame’, written by Stevie Wonder and Syreeta. James Brown is checked with the JBs-inspired rare groove of Lee Arab’s ‘Now’. Lloyd Williams similarly does a fine Kingston-style version of the hardest working man in show-business on ‘Reggae Feet’. Version-wise, we have ‘Idleberg’, Cedric Brooks tough instrumental cut to Horace Andy’s seminal ‘Skylarking’ and Pablove Black’s cut of Sidewalk Doctor (A\/K\/A Poco Tempo). Add to these original cuts from Studio One’s heavyweight session players including Leroy Sibbles, Jackie Mittoo, Eric Frater, Richard Ace, Vin Gordon and more and you have one of the finest selections of reggae and funk you will ever hear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes: \u003cbr\u003e     Disc One \u003cbr\u003eShaft - Cedric IM Brooks \u003cbr\u003eAfrican Descendants - Alton Ellis \u003cbr\u003eSidewalk Doctor - Pablove Black \u003cbr\u003eReggae Feet - Lloyd Williams \u003cbr\u003eHang 'Em High - Jackie Mittoo \u003cbr\u003eIdleberg - Cedric IM Brooks \u003cbr\u003eBeat Down Babylon - Prince Frandcis \u003cbr\u003eNow - Lee Arab \u003cbr\u003e007- Lee Arab \u003cbr\u003eSee a Man's Face - Prince Moonie \u003cbr\u003e     Disc Two \u003cbr\u003eLove Jah - Sound Dimension \u003cbr\u003eDo Your Thing - Leroy Sibbles \u003cbr\u003eMusic Answer - The Sharks \u003cbr\u003eMelting Pot - Underground Vegetables \u003cbr\u003eYou Found Heaven - Devon Russell \u003cbr\u003eSteady Beat - Vin Gordon \u003cbr\u003eIt's A Shame - Alton Ellis \u003cbr\u003eAnother Thing - Roy Richards \u003cbr\u003eFunky Broadway - Delroy Wilson \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNEW SEALED \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e2 LP set on limited CLEAR vinyl w\/ download card\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"RedEye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49006697480443,"sku":null,"price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/4553\/files\/201374900082.jpg?v=1782363387","url":"https:\/\/orbitrecords.com\/products\/various-studio-one-funk-the-original-2-lp-set-on-limited-colored-vinyl-w-dlc","provider":"Orbit Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
