Bumping, soulful ska. Plus Tommy McCook’s brilliant Goldfinger, on the flip.
Irresistible mix of sublime, Impressions-style harmony singing, punchy horns supervised by Tommy McCook, soulful existentialism and rocking steady rhythm; beautifully presented by Far East Records.
Two goes, both brilliant, featuring ace trombone. The first take carries the swing, with its wailing, soul-jazz organ more to the fore.
Top-notch, super-soulful rocksteady.
With an alternate take.
Lloyd Charmers, Alva Lewis, Glen Adams and the Barrett brothers, holding a candle for ska at the close of the 1960s. With a precious, uptempo, alternate take, on the flip.
The truly iconic compilation from 1965, when ska was in its full, irrepressible, post-colonial glory.
Unmissable rocksteady: a magnificent version of the Curtis; and a hard-rocking Never Let Me Go.
