The Gladiators - Studio One Singles
Review by michelle lagatule
The Gladiators' album Studio One Singles is a collection of some of their best work from their time at Studio One Records. This album showcases the group's signature sound of reggae infused with soulful harmonies and socially conscious lyrics. The album features classic tracks such as "Hello Carol," "Roots Natty," and "Bongo Red," which are sure to get any reggae fan grooving. The production quality of the album is top-notch, and the musicianship of the Gladiators is impressive. One standout track is "Dreadlocks the Time Is Now," which showcases the group's ability to create a powerful message with their music. Studio One Singles is a must-have for any reggae fan or music lover looking to explore the genre. The album is a testament to the Gladiators' impact on the reggae scene and their ability to create timeless music.

Notes
- The Gladiators, Albert Griffiths, Clinton Fearon and Gallimore Sutherland, were one of the first "roots" groups to break out internationally. They, like many others, launched their career at Studio One and their '70s output for the label, like "Bongo Red" and "Jah Jah Go Before Us," brought them to the attention of reggae fans worldwide.
- This Gladiators' release, Studio One Singles, first appeared as a French bootleg, and in the tradition of albums like Mojo Rock Steady and Pirates Choice, is now reissued in an authorized edition featuring improved sound quality sourced from the original masters and rare singles.
- This album contains a nice selection of the Gladiators' Studio One singles and dub versions released between 1969 and 1978 (with no overlapping from their Presenting album) as well as 12" singles released later.
- Track C2 is an LP only bonus track.
- Gatefold Sleeve.
- Comes in a slipcase with an 8-page booklet.
