The Toasters - Skaboom LP
SKU: JUMP129 OverviewDescription:
US import!
The Toasters originally released their debut US album SKABOOM back
in 1987, on the Celluloid label. The album is often stated as being
the origin of modern, or “third-wave” ska in the United States. It
followed the RECRIMINATIONS and EAST SIDE BEAT EPs that were
released both in the USA and UK, introducing the world to a fresh
new wave-y ska sound that was uniquely American yet linked to
2-TONE through secret producer JOE JACKSON.
Two years later, THE TOASTERS’ official “debut” album POOLSHARK
arrived via the UK label Unicorn, yet six tracks from that set were
culled for inclusion on the legendary debut American full-length
named SKABOOM. That set was brasher, brighter, and more
emphatically ska driven than their earlier material, albeit with
eclectic backdrops that ranged from the surf-side to the juke
joint. Now boasting a brass section, and two new vocalists, THE
TOASTERS’ sound was significantly shifting while the lineup
continued expanding. By the time they came to record SKABOOM, the
group had ballooned into an 11-piece aggregate. The resulting high
adrenaline album found the band in top form, their playing
extremely tight, and the arrangements increasingly intricate and
innovative.
