Studio 1 Love I Can Feel Showcase (?)

[Downbeat Special]

I need help identifying a blank Studio 1 album. There are six tracks (3 per side, showcase style), all on John Holt's ‘A Love I Can Feel’ rhythm. Details as follows:

A1 Wicked Intention – Maureen Thomas
A2 (rap version – artist unknown)
A3 Original Rhythm – Jim Nastic

B1 Man From Studio One – artist unknown (but doesn’t sound like Alton Ellis)
B2 Ramona – artist unknown
B3 Intrumental

Blank white sleeve with ‘Studio 1 – Love I Can Feel Showcase – Various Artists – Pre LP’ written on it. Blank labels with Coxsone’s Music City stamp (Fulton Street address). Matrix numbers SO-CM DLP-1592-A and SO-CM DLP-1592-B.

Was this ever released on an official label and/or in a picture sleeve? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

According to my info it is Alton Ellis with 'Man From Studio One'

A2 is Devon Green with 'Ebony Goddess'.

Thanks for the info. It's difficult to know how to classify these 6 track releases - they are not really albums, nor 12" discomixes. The ones I am aware of are the Flextasy Six Pack, Let's Get It On (J. Isaacs), Teach Us To Love (Desmond Irie), Back A Yard (Roland Richard), and Wicked Intention (Maureen Thomas). Anyone know of any more titles?

I bought some at the time :

DLP 1594 A/B ... Endlessly/Sherry (Dobby Dobson)
DLP 1595 A/B ... Nuf Up With It (Wonder T)/Cherry Oh (Freddie McGregor)
DLP 1599 A/B ... Big Up Big Up (Charlie Fresh)/Truly (Tameko Cameron)
SOSP 001 A/B ... If I Follow My Heart/I Shall Sing (Kim Masters)
SOSP 002 A/B ... Mama Seta/Christmas Celebration (De'Ello) [soca]

All have three cuts per side.

My copy has a green Studio 1 label, with the Fulton Street address and the same matrix numbers. It's in a plain sleeve (actually a reversed Eldon Stackable Trays carton).

The sleeve lists all 3 tracks on the A side, as above (including Ebony Goddess - Devon Green), but the B side only lists Man From Studio One - Alton Ellis.

I emailed you this info back in 2000!
