He recorded at Federal, Studio One, WIRL /Dynamics, Randys, Black Ark, Joe Gibbs and of course Tuff Gong.

No Tubbys, Treasure Isle or Channel One at least voicing AFAIK (?).
Even if his band members recorded everywhere.

Corrections more than welcome!

Yeah he also clearly recorded in London when he was in exile from Jamdown and in Compass Point studios in Nassau, Bahamas I believe.

Harry J's studio is another Kingston studio he recorded at, conveniently close to his home on Hope Rd.

Ooops, I forgot probably the most used studio! ( that happens when I write fast)

Not sure about Compass Point but at least 4 studios in London were used (some interesting anecdotes from the people who were passing thru). Sometimes for re-voicing, overdubs and mixing.
Of course, Criteria in Miami.
The first truly "jamaican" album (recorded, voiced, overdubbed and mixed entirely in jamaica) was "Survival" in 78 - 79.

Still, why no Channel One?
Maybe Island had a deal with Harry J. Or maybe he didn't want a 4 tracks studio (by the time Channel one went 16 tracks....he had Tuff gong built)

What about "Heart Of The Congos"? It was recorded and released in 1977 and overdubbed version in 1978.

Sorry, I wrote fast.
I meant the first truly Bob Marley "jamaican" album for Island Records ( international market)
Of course he did loads of albums before that in Jamaica for Studio one, leslie Kong / Dynamics, Lee Perry, etc....
