Soul Jazz release - Studio One Rude Boy
October 24th 2006 08:11
Songs like Johnny Too Bad are on heaps of various artist CDs, but looking at the rest of the tracks and they have a bit more to offer in terms of how often they appear or more to the point, don't appear. Songs such as Bob Andy's Crime Don't Pay and John Holt doing Hooligan is another (but then I love Holt). All in all it is quite an original collection of songs, although I'm sure many collectors won't be especially impressed all in all.
I am happy it is available as a double LP as well as a CD, but the cover art is a bit underwhelming. Although a great picture, the old Wailers image has been used a bit too much now.
On the website it is going for about 11 pounds, which seems about standard for a Soul Jazz release. I wouldn't pay more than 20 Aussie bucks for it though.
