Catalogue: HONEY040     
Barcode: 7427244912129

The one and only Laurel Aitken, a true pioneer in Jamaican music, superbly backed by the Skatalites with Baba Brooks - trumpet,  Tommy McCook and  Lester Sterling - saxes, Gladdy Anderson - keyboards, Lloyd Brevette - bass, and Lloyd Knibbs - drums. A seminal combo who laid the foundation for generations to come. Intermittently recorded in 1963 at Federal Studio in Kingston, this is pure cool Jamaican sound and groove at its best.
