Various - Skinhead Hits The Town 1968-1969 LP
SKU: KSLP073
Description:
The Skinhead sound grew from the music that was coming out
of Jamaica around 1968 to 1971 and was adopted by the British
Youth. The music seemed tailor made for their sharp look and
natty dress style, a style that was also heavily influenced by
the Jamaican Rude Boy look.
The skinhead movement started around 1968 and by the following year
of 1969 became the style and fashion of the British teenagers.
The uniform of the skinheads consisted of boots, braces and
jeans and the upbeat reggae sounds seemed to match the style
perfectly. The tempo of the music was picking up after the
1966-1968 Rocksteady period, which saw the earlier Ska sound
slowed down. The sound system dances needed a slower beat
to swing the night away to, some say to cater for the extreme
heatwave that hit Jamaica around that time. But that period
had passed and the evolution of the Reggae beat had again
found a new pulse to hang its songs by. A more up tempo beat
that all Jamaicans, British youths and various pockets of
people around the world could groove the nights away to.
