This CD and DVD combo is the size of a two-CD package, plus it has a nifty little booklet. The DVD is four hours of documentary on Studio One, the legendary Jamaican reggae studio run by Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd. It is a rough, fan-orientated documentary and is awesome in scope. I hope more labels do DVDs like this, where they go and document such an important scene. I'm a fan of Studio One engineer Sylvan Morris now because of this doc! The CD features many of the tunes you hear during the doc and is an excellent party starter, too. Highly recommended. (wwwsouljazz.com)
