By: Charles H.E.CampbellFirstly we got Duke Reid’s “Treasure Chest” in 1992 filled with Treasure Isle’s hottest Rock Steady hits. In 1993 came Mango Records release of Tougher than Tough - the Story of Jamaican Music covering hits from the Ska to Ragga eras. Original Jamaican Classics was released in 1994 by Studio One.
Now in 2004 we finally have VP Records Reggae Anthology- The Channel One Story, a two-disc set, exactly 30 years after the roots sound of the Hoo Kim Brothers, Maxfield Avenue based studio, begun their 10 year domination of the Reggae and Dancehall market in 1974. This occurred in two distinct periods 1975-1977 and 1979-1984. As Dave Hendley says in the liner notes, “it was Sly’s imaginative experimentation with creating new beats [and completely reworking the Reggae rhythm] that finally resulted in the militant Rockers style” that made Channel One famous.
(Disc 1 - Track 3) ‘Right Time’ by the Mighty Diamonds was a big 1975 hit and introduced us to this innovative double drumming style and along with ‘I Need A Roof’ (Disc 1 – Track 1) have become perennially popular. The Channel One house band, The Revolutionaries continued to record new versions of Studio One-Rock Steady and Reggae rhythms and other hits flowed. In the same year (Disc 1 – Track 13) ‘Welding’ by DJ I-Roy, (Disc 2 – Track 6) ’M.P.L.A’ by the Revolutionaries, and Junior Byles’ ‘Fade Away’ (Disc 2 – Track 12) became instant chart toppers. In 1976 with Sly and Robbie using College Rock, an original Studio One rhythm, Leroy Smart’s ‘Ballistic Affair’ (Disc 2 –Track 3) was a big Jamaican and UK hit. ‘Without Love’ (Disc 2 – Track 4) soon followed.
Anyone familiar with dancehall protocol knows the symbolism and implications when a selector draws for ‘Burial’- by the Revolutionaries (Disc 1 Track 8) at that critical juncture in the session. Disc 2 Track 13, ‘Queen Majesty’ by the Jays and Rankin Trevor, an update of the Techniques’ 1967 Studio One hit, became massive on radio and eventually in the dancehall, is regarded as a classic.
In 1979 as the Dancehall era dawned, an upgraded sixteen track Channel One Studio was once again “in the midst of a musical revolution”. Sugar Minott and Little John, the first successful exponents of the modern Dancehall music, that is, in the dance singing ‘live’ over rhythm tracks, enhances this double CD with their hits of that year (Disc 1 – Track 17) ‘Show Me That You Love Me Girl’, (Disc 2 – Track 10) ‘Babylon’ both by Sugar Minott and Disc 2 – Track 11) ‘Smoke Ganja Hard’ by Little John.
The sound of the new Channel One house band – The Roots Radics was stark and haunting with bare but tighter, more syncopated rhythms, “echo laden and cleanly recorded, emphasizing the separation between the instruments”. Frankie Paul’s 1983 hit ‘Worries In The Dance’ (Disc 1 – Track 14) amplifies this minimalist style. In this genre ‘Road Block’ by Sammy Dread (Disc 1 – Track 7) and ‘Far East’ (Disc 1 – Track 11) by Barry Brown, as well as ‘Fade Away’, also speak eloquently and melodically about some scourges, police harassment and brutality, urban violence political tribalism, class and religious (Rastafari) prejudice, which still very much plague our society, and hence remain quite potent in their message.
Appropriately four lovers rock tracks close out the first disc. ‘Dances Are Chances’ by Barrington Levy (Disc 1 – Track 16) and Rankin Trevor’s version of Marcia Griffith’s classic ‘Truly’ (Disc 1 – Track 19) were very popular when they were first released.
The inclusion of John Holt’s ‘Satisfaction’ (Disc 2 – Track 4) and ‘Up Park Camp’ (Disc 2 – Track 15) in the compilation is definitely a bonus, especially since ‘Satisfaction’, has been left off all the Sly and Robbie compilations and even John Holt’s own cd ‘John Holt Story’.
I do, however, have two criticisms. In recognising the historical value of this effort, it would have been useful to have given us the year of release for each musical selection. Secondly, while the backing musicians were given credit, this could have been done for each tune in the souvenir booklet enclosed, for accuracy and posterity.

In concluding, this compilation certainly epitomizes the significant musical progression and improvement in recording styles and quality which Channel One introduced to enrich our Reggae/dancehall legacy at a critical period, when the international momentum built up from the hit s of Lee Perry, Bunny Lee, Clancy Eccles and Winston Riley had dissipated. Reggae Anthology now proudly sits beside Duke Reid’s Treasure Chest and Studio One’s Original Jamaican Classics as a major chapter in The Story Of Jamaican Music.
