Soul Jazz Records Down Beat Special is a roller-coaster greatest hits ride through many of the all-time classic tunes hand-picked from across the mighty vaults of, without doubt, Jamaicas finest ever record label and pioneering powerhouse of reggae music. Seminal tracks such as Michigan and Smileys Nice Up The Dance, Dawn Penns No, No, No, The Wailers Simmer Down, The Eternals Queen of the Minstrels and on it goes. Non-stop BIG tunes. Down Beat Special is an essential primer to Studio One Records.
