The Ska From Jamaica – v/a 2cd

Dubbel cd op Doctor Bird. ‘Originally scheduled for release in 1966 by leading AfroCaribbean music specialists, R&B Records, “The Ska From Jamaica” album remained lost for well over half a century before the ¼” master tape was finally discovered in the Trojan archives earlier this year. The LP showcased the work of leading producer, Lindon Pottinger, comprising a dozen top quality tracks that first saw issue in the UK on R&B’s venerated Ska Beat label between 1964 and ’66.’
