REVIEWS:
“A juicy compilation that does justice to the forgotten of the history of reggae.” LES INROCKS
“Since copyright laws were virtually non-existent in Jamaica for most of the 20th century, it is common to hear innumerable mutations of any given riddim track. Discerning the creators of each song can be a daunting task. From 1967 to ’70, however, the Sound Dimension was the house band at Studio One, creating memorable cuts for the lyrical pantheon of Jamaica to sing and toast over. This 18-song collection of instrumentals shows how pivotal these men were in the sonic architecture of reggae.” XLR8R
“Legendary Studio One band Sound Dimension find themselves on the receiving end of another celebrative retrospective courtesy of the ever-reliable Soul Jazz, bringing together classic recordings of ‘Mojo Rocksteady’, ‘Real Rock’, ‘Heavy Rock’Rockfort Rock’, ‘Jamaica Underground’ and more. The breadth of this band’s influence can be heard throughout the annals of reggae, with these timelessly funky cuts revisited and re-versioned by anyone and everyone since being committed to tape in the ’60s. Another great document from Soul Jazz” BOOMKAT
