The Skatalites - Greetings From Skamania LP
SKU: JUMP160 OverviewDescription:
US import!
First time on wax for Jamaican ska originators’ 1996 masterpiece,
green vinyl edition with poster insert exclusive for Record Store
Day. Produced by Joe Ferry (Big Ska Band, SKAndolous All Stars) and
band leader Tommy McCook, On this set original 60’s players are
still going strong – lead by the saxophone trio of Tommy McCook,
Roland Alphonso, and Lester Sterling, drummer Lloyd Knibbs, bassist
Lloyd Brevett, and vocalist Doreen Shaffer. The band revisits 60’s
gems like “Phoenix City” , and “El Pussycat” while creating many
new classics including “Skalloween”, “Trip To Mars” and
“Skamania”.
The Skatalites perfected the big-band ska sound while backing some
of the finest ska and rocksteady artists in the 60’s, and this
album is another crowning jewel in their lifelong goal to party
like it’s 1964! This official RSD 2019 title has been out of print
for ages, but we recently received stranded stock from a few
overseas distributors, which we reconditioned for sale once again.
