The Scofflaws - Ska In Hi-Fi LP
SKU: JUMP180 OverviewDescription:
US import!
Released on vinyl for the first time ever! Originally issued in the
fall of 1995, “SKA IN HI FI” was a major evolution from the band’s
debut album in 1991. A tremendous 16-song effort with non stop
danceable grooves, time tested live staples appeared as studio
versions for the first time, making the album an instant hit for
Moon Ska NYC. Includes their most famous composition, “William
Shatner,” an ode to their favorite Star Trek actor and all around
renaissance man, plus fan faves “Nude Beach” and “Spider On
My Bed”.
THE SCOFFLAWS still sound best when they get off on an big band
instrumental ska groove, especially on Duke Ellington’s “Caravan”
(“Skaravan”) and Herbie Hancock’s “Watermelon Man” – but don’t get
me wrong, the vocals are very efficient on this sophomore
classic. Overall it’s a truly spirited affair – the band
never rushes their music, instead preferring to rely on relaxed
tempos and letting their powerful horn section lead the way.
At the time of this recording the band was truly at it’s height,
included in their ranks were VICTOR RICE and BUFORD O’SULLIVAN
alongside founder RICHARD BROOKS. Available on Red Vinyl.
