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, Jamaica's finest ever record label and pioneering powerhouse of reggae music. Seminal tracks such as Michigan and Smiley's 'Nice Up the Dance', Dawn Penn's '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.
