Description: Bongo Red: The Gladiators at Studio OneFeaturing Albert GriffithsCDHeartbeat 2006 (original release date 1998) One of the first Jamaican recording studios/labels to develop from the island's sound system culture, Studio One put an astounding wealth of reggae talent on wax. This collection, culled from restored master tapes, is more than a reissue. It's a 16-track bonanza of buried treasures from the Gladiators: versions, mixes, and tracks previously unreleased on CD, from before this harmony trio signed to Virgin Records in 1975. The technology back then may have been rough, but today's studio wiz kids bend backwards to recapture that visceral, squishy reggae sound of the Studio One house band (which included Skatalite members, and ska innovator Ernie Ranglin). Lead vocalist Albert Griffiths is the quintessential '70s reggae-Rasta singer--a young poet-warrior, full of vibes. --Elena Oumano
