Maroon Town - Goodbye To The Empire 7"
SKU: TWT003
Description:
Maroon
Town was perhaps one of the most interesting bands of the late
1980s UK Ska revival.
Their
first album 'High And Dry' from 1989 was produced by John Bradbury
of The Specials, but the band successfully managed not to be just
another ska band. Over the years the band explored the musical
boundaries of the ska genre and sought crossovers with hip hop,
jazz and funk. Also lyrically the band managed to stand out
with lyrics about social and political issues.
The A-side 'Goodbye To The
Empire' originally appeared on their 1989 'Pound To The Dollar' 12"
while the B-side, 'Nostalgia' appeared on their debut album in the
same year. The A-side became an absolute cult hit over the years,
and by repeated request from the DJ circuit, the song is now being
released in the handier 7" format for the first
time.
