Killer deep ska, superbly led by Roland A. Backed with the Black Brothers’ rude boy anthem, Born To Rule.
Crucial version of the Horace; with a nice minor-key flip.
A Skatalites charger and a jolt of vintage Ethiopian ska rumpus.
Two all-time ska masterpieces: back-to-back fire.
Tremendous, previously-unreleased takes of ska instrumentals by the Soul Brothers.
Rolando Al luxuriating in jazz; a Tommy McCook cha cha cha.
Head-to-head Bunny-Lee-supervised knees-up-mother-browns.
Two jazz burners.
A shuffling, r&b version of a Lerner & Loewe tune from Brigadoon, by way of Nat King Cole.
Plus an instrumental one-away featuring Baba Brooks, Roland Alphonso and Lester Sterling. One of the reed players puts his foot in it, with a squawk, but who cares. Guess that’s why it’s previously unreleased and such a precious release now.
