Mojo Rocksteady Beat

REGGAE
As the in-house band at Studio One in the late 1960’s, THE SOUND DIMENSION played alongside everyone from THE HEPTONES, ALTON ELLIS, KEN BOOTHE, MARCIA GRIFFITHS and more. Similar to their US counterparts THE FUNK BROTHERS at MOTOWN and BOOKER T AND THE MGS at STAX, The Sound Dimension recorded on a daily basis incredibly catchy and funky tunes matched by a seamless musicality.
They have recorded some of the most important songs in Reggae music; songs such as “Real Rock”, “Drum Song”, “Heavy Rock”, “Rockfort Rock”, “In Cold Blood” – played and re-played by every house band for every producer on the island, these iconic rhythms became the basis for dancehall and laid the foundations for the future of Jamaican music.
Featuring musicians of the calibre of ERNEST RANGLIN, JACKIE MITTOO, ERIC FRATER, LEROY SIBBLES, DON DRUMMOND JNR, DEADLEY HEADLEY and more, the Sound Dimension existed from around 1967-70 and all the recordings featured here were originally released during this period.
This album can be seen as a companion to the earlier Sound Dimension release “Jamaica Soul Shake” and together these two albums make a unique and definitive document of a seriously important set of recordings.
