FIRST EVER reissue of this Jamaican SKA classic. A priceless treasure trove of Ska classics from the Treasured Isle.

The legendary SKATALITES, under the guidance of their founding member and band leader Tommy McCook, bring together a rare treasure trove of Latin-tinged Jamaican Ska at its very best. McCook’s first love, Jazz, plus a soulful swing that drifted across the ocean on the a.m. waves from Florida radio stations is fused with the pulsating Latin rhythms that long inspired the Jamaican Ska musicians. The result is a 12-track masterpiece guaranteed to deliver top-flight entertainment which really blasts off when the “Skats” get going! A first ever reissue of this classic rarity produced by the legendary DUKE REID and featuring a who’s who in Jamaican Ska royalty: Roland Alphonso, Lester Sterling, Lloyd Knibb, Lloyd Brevett, Jackie Mittoo, Don Drummonds and more.[info sheet from distr.]
