I remembered in 1964 when my mother was marrying, Duke Ried sounds system played at the wedding. Duke Ried have sound system long before coxene. I remembered when he useto have a show on RJR radio station. He useto have a studio 🎙️ name treasure isle, Duke Ried was born in Portland in 1905. I understand the first record was done in Jamaica by singer machine,by Harry Belanfonte plus the main man in Jamaica that responsible the music fraternity,is name is Vere John long before coxene was born. That man was born in 1883 Move from Jamaica in 1924 to New York City promoting music there,he useto recruiting singers. Then he returned to Jamaica in 1939 recruiting people to sing,at 4 theaters,he recruiting Alton Ellis, John Holt,Millie Small, Dobby Dobson, just to mentioned a few of them. I remembered that man Vere John, he useto have a show on RJR radio station name the Vere John opportunities show. He died in 1966 I know king 👑 Stitch, and count Machkie, Also URoy,Iroy, Dennis alcapone in the 1960s.I grew up on mento music,it is the original music in Jamaica for hundreds of years.My uncle born in 1920 playing into the mento band, playing guitar 🎸 and banjo 🪕.

@@blairboyd5617 Wow, thanks for the history lesson. My father was Jamaican, he came here to the UK in 1961 & built his sound system, modelled off the sound systems in Jamaica with the amplifier case with the pretty lights, I was mesmerised by the sound & the lights. Back in the early 1980s there was a series aired on TV entitled Deep Roots Music, there are clips on KZbin. I was watching an episode with my Dad of which it showed Lord Comic & Count Machuki chatting on the mic, my Dad turned to me & told me Count Machuki was his second cousin. My Dad passed in 2009 so I never got the chance for him to explain in more detail. Thankyou for your information as I have my Dads record collection which I treasure to this day, so the history of Jamaican music & it’s beginnings has always fascinated me, especially the sound systems. Me & my Dad used to talk for hours about when he was in Jamaica, he would tell me about him & his friends would get dressed up & follow the music blowing in the air with the horns in the trees, they would walk for miles until they reached the dance, as my Dad got older he would repeat the stories, but I didn’t mind, this was way before the internet so I knew of certain R&B tunes before I had the chance to hear them. When my father passed I started to collect R&B tunes as he gave me a few names, Later for the gator, Bloodshot eyes etc. When I purchased the Studio One Story I took it to my Dad to watch, he was glued to the screen as Coxsone walked to the dancehalls he used to play at.

A nice documentary that provides some new insights and features persons who have died by now. Most interesting to me is that the Reggae chi-ki guitar was created with an echo or delay and which devices they used (Arbiter Soundimension and CMI Echoplex). These machines were also crucial for early Dub mixes. I only wonder why the Studio 1 logo is shown so often throughout the video - maybe it was designed as a series of short clips.

At the time this DVD was produced, Coxsone had gone into partnership with Soul Jazz Records in the U.K. They had the rights to license Studio One music, initially they started with compilation albums which today demand good money, fans snapped them up because the recordings were crystal clear, they have released a lot of exclusive 7” & 12” singles also. If you look at early Soul Jazz album releases the sleeves designs have the same font as this video, The DVD came with a compilation CD & book the same size as a CD which was their first release. So the screen font was a marketing ploy making it easy for fans to identify Soul Jazz product. Soul Jazz Records are based in London UK. Clement Seymour Dodd died a couple of years after this DVD was released. Anybody notice the absence of Leroy Sibbles?

@@admiralhipowa7158 Thank you, that explains why the documentary is chopped into pieces and why the compilation you mean is called 'The Studio One Story'. So the DVD and the CD are complementing each other. By your nickname I see we share the same kind of humour. 😀

Good to see this again even though it is not complete…I grew up with this as a staple diet of musical food so it is nostalgic indeed. There will never be another sound like Studio one. Not even artists. Music coming out of JA is lame by comparison. A crying, make than wailing shame.
