"Wailing Souls (CD): This neglected classic from 1974 gets a timely reissue in both CD and vinyl formats. The original vinyl release is quite difficult to find and something of a collectors' item so this will be welcomed by more than a few Studio One aficionados. The CD is supplemented with two bonus tracks, Things & Time and Without You, and includes extended versions of Back Out With It and Row Fisherman; whereas the vinyl reissue comes without the two bonus tracks but with extended versions of Back Out With It, Real Rock and Got To Be Cool. It is unusual (even for Studio One) that the two formats should be so different. But, whether your preference is for vinyl or CD, you won't be disappointed. The Wailing Souls were early stars of Coxonne Dodd’s legendary ‘Studio One’ record label, originally recording under ‘The Renegades’ and releasing a set of highly sought after 7”s. Studio One is widely considered to be the Motown of Jamaica, led by visionary producer Lloyd ‘Coxonne’ Dodd with his house band ‘Sound Dimension’ housing, at different points, some of the greatest musicians ever to grace the island. ..."
