Studio One Funk is made up of rare and unreleased Reggae Funk from the vaults of Studio One. Ever since the birth of Funk in America, the sound has been an ever-present ingredient in the melting pot of Studio Ones musical output.

The music here is a combination of originals and USA soul and funk covers. Jackie Mittoo shows his appreciation for Booker T and The MGs, the studio group at Memphis famous Stax Records with a previously unreleased version of Hang Em High. Booker Ts super-funky Melting Pot is also covered by the little-known Underground Vegetables. Other covers include Isaac Hayes classic Shaft by Cedric Brooks – another unreleased gem, straight from the master tapes. Motown gets a look in with Altons stripped-down version of the Spinners
