Boogie On My Bones (Early Steps of The Godfather of Ska)

Artist: Laurel Aitken
Format: LP
Label: Rumble Records


13,00 € tax incl.

More of the R&B and early Mento singles by the Godfather of Jamaican Ska. Chronicling his last 12 months before leaving the island in 1960, this collection includes his collaborations with legendary Jamaican producers such as Chris Blackwell and Duke Reid, confirming his calypso leanings, but also anticipating that pronounced guitar offbeat heralding the approach of Ska. Over the course of many years the man became a legend for Mods, Punks, Skinheads and 2Tone Fans all over the world, but his roots are here in his late 50's and early 60's production.
