Das Duo gehört seit 1977 zu den gefragtesten Rhythm Sections des UK, das Legenden wie Bunny Lee, Fat Man, Sugar Minott, Gregory Isaacs und General Levy produziert (und u.a. Janet Jackson geremixt hat). Sämtliche Tracks wurden von den Originalinterpreten neu eingesungen oder enthalten teils sogar die Original-70er-Vocals. Das Konzept bewährte sich bereits mit Mafia & Fluxys Albumreihe "Reggae Heights", in der Protagonisten wie Johnny Clarke, Barry Brown, Gregory Isaacs und John Holt Klassiker zu modernen Mafia & Fluxy Rhythmen neu interpretierten.
Studio One’s list of singers launched at the famous label reads like a roll call of Jamaican music. Horace Andy, Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe, Freddie McGregor, Johnny Osbourne and more.

Sleeve-notes are by Chris Salewicz, the acclaimed writer who has written books on Joe Strummer, Bob Marley, The Rolling Stones and many others.
