Description:
In 1967, an unknown group of musicians called The
Bees toured England as backing band for Prince Buster.
This tour gave the band instant name recognition in the club
circuit and the band went into the studio. Working for different
producers and - for contractual reasons - under different band
names, the band recorded dozens of singles between 1967 and
1971.
In 1968, the band released its self-titled debut album as
The Pyramids, but it was the follow-up that made
the band legendary: in 1970 the band released the 'Skinhead
Moonstomp' album under the seven-letter bandname
Symarip. The album and its accompanying single
broke all records and sold millions of copies. Songs by the band
have been covered hundreds of times including by The Specials,
Judge Dread and Bad Manners.
In 1968 the band recorded a series of singles as Seven Letters.
Same musicians and the same style of music, but for contractual
reasons with a different band name. Now more than 50 years later
these songs have been compiled on a discography album. The songs
have been remastered and the album is provided with extensive liner
notes.
