During the early 1960s, the sound of ska exploded upon Jamaicas musical landscape, with the driving dynamic sound championed by arguably the greatest ensemble of musicians ever to have performed and recorded on the island.

Fronted by legendary saxophonist Tommy McCook, the Skatalites also comprised a veritable whos who of Kingston-based performers, their number including trombonist Don Drummond, tenor saxman Roland Alphonso, drumming supremo Lloyd Knibb and keyboard prodigy Jackie Mittoo.

Following their creation in the summer of 64, this powerhouse instrumental combo dominated the islands music industry for 18 glorious months, the very best of their work produced by famed Treasure Isle Records boss, Arthur Duke Reid.

Available on limited transparent clear double vinyl.
