Studio One is the legendary Jamaican reggae label that launched onto the world Bob Marley and theWailers.

As Jamaica approaches the 50th anniversary of independence, this stunning deluxe book is a timely look at Reggae music's legendary record label and the artists and musicians that it made famous.
