Record Store Day 2015: Soul Jazz Presents "Down Beat Special" Studio One 7" Box Set

For their first-ever Record Store Day release, Soul Jazz Records is issuing the Down Beat Special Studio One five 7" box set, which will feature the following singles:

Willie Williams "Armagideon Time" b/w Marcia Griffiths "Feel Like Jumping"

The Skatalites "Addis Ababa" b/w The Eternals "Queen of the Minstrels"

Dawn Penn "No No No" b/w Dub specialist "Hooligan (Dub)"

The Mad Lads "Ten to One" b/w Jackie Mittoo "Totally Together"

Michigan and Smiley "Nice Up the Dance" b/w "The Wailers "Simmer Down"

I have to admit that I'm pretty bummed that this is a UK-only, limited-edition (500 copies) Record Store Day 2015 release, since it's going to be very hard to obtain here in the States and will likely cost an arm and a leg as a rare import (RSD releases in the US tend to be marked up significantly as it is).

  1. Only gripe is that they've already been released by Soul Jazz on other compilations, be nice to get some new tracks, but all the same tasty set.
