Laurel Aitken & The Skatalites - Ska Titans LP
SKU: BBC023
Description:
Whenever the history of ska is expounded, many threads are
followed. But, always at the root are Laurel Aitken and the
Skatalites. Aitken and the Skatalites worked alongside each other
on the island of Jamaica to reinterpret pop and R&B sounds that
come from America via radio broadcasts into a new and exciting
genre. Now, for the first time in more than 30 years, Aitken and
surviving members of the Skatalites recorded together on Ska
Titans. The album includes new studio recordings of classic covers,
like "Same Old Song," with classic originals. The final tracks are
live material taken from a 1996 European tour.
