Although the sleeve notes promise that this is to be the first in a series, it turned out to be the one and only Studio One compilation released by Pama Records on their Economy label. However, the choice of obscure and little known tracks make this a release of particular interest, as it would seem that the majority of the titles were never released as 7" singles or compiled on any other album or CD.
