stone cold classic studio one 45s back in stock after years. one-off represses. loud, clean pressings.

“we hope you enjoy listening to our music as much as we enjoy performing it for you!” that’s how tommy mccook used to greet to the audience by at every performance of the skatalites that he hosted. since reforming after an almost 20 year hiatus in 1983, and beginning regular touring as a unit in 1989, they have not stopped thrilling audiences in every corner of the globe. even after 48 years, and various lineup changes as members leave one stage for another, the band continues to perform and record new music in the inimitable jamaican style, like only they can.

these are the first in a new series of seminal reggae releases from the iconic studio one records starting with four monster singles - back to back classics from the skatalites, johnny osbourne, horace andy, prince jazzbo, the heptones, jackie mittoo and more.

a superb collection of 14 tracks by the skatalites, recorded in kingston jamaica circa 1963-64.

when talking about ska music one group of musicians whose name always comes to the forefront of the conversation are the skatalites. formed around 1965 and named originally after the soviet space satellite which was big news at the time and with a little help from band member tommy mccook, making a play on the characteristic ska sound made by the guitar when following the after beat of the music. the band would have a name to go with its distinctive musical style.

if one band could be cited for the emergence of ska music, that band would be the skatelites. ... so stand up, listen hard and do the ska!

the legendary skatalites, alongside the later studio one in-house bands - the soul vendors, sound dimension, soul defenders and brentford road all stars ? were as much a part of the classic studio one sound as were the singers that they accompanied such as alton ellis, horace andy, marcia griffiths and bob marley and the wailers. this album features many of the musicians involved with studio one who literally defined reggae music. from the skatalites members tommy mccook, roland alphonso, jackie mittoo to killer sidemen such as trombonist vin gordon (a/k/a don drummond jnr), saxophonist cedric im brooks, keyboardist and twelve tribes of israel member pablove black. many of the rhythms that these musicians created became the back-bone of the jamaican musical world and their songs have been replayed and re-versioned by 1000s of reggae producers ever-since. the album features classic and super-rare tracks all recorded under clement ?sir coxsoneÊ doddÊs supervision at the legendary recording studio and record label. as well as sixteen killer tracks the album comes with new sleevenotes and photography by dennis morris and adrian boot making this another essential studio one reggae release for connoisseurs of reggae and newcomers alike.
