SKATALITES – skatalite (LP Vinyl)

Auf 750 Stück limitiertes und nummeriertes turquoise-coloured Vinyl. The 12-tracks self-titled Skatalites album do make for a tidy sampler of some of the best sides the group cut for producer Duke Reid during the last days of Jamaican R&B and the early ska period. While by no means a definitive collection, Skatalite collates some choice cuts like ´Eastern Standard Time´, ´Don-De-Lion´ and ´Yard Broom´ featuring the classic line-up on fine form, with Don Drummond on Trombone, Jackie Mittoo´s piano and trumpeter Jonny "Dizzy" Moore laying down some foundational rhythms. * MoV
