Laurel Aitken - The Fantastic Laurel Aitken LP
SKU: RRS38
Description:
Remastered and expanded edition of this hyper-rare early '70s
release from the 'Godfather Of Ska'. By 1970, Laurel Aitken was
well and truly established as the Father of British Reggae, having
dominated the country's Jamaican music scene since his arrival at
the start of the '60s. But having enjoyed success with every
UK-based West Indian record company of note over the previous
eleven years, he was no longer content with simply domestic
triumphs and set his sights on conquering foreign territories. So
it was he took the unusual step of licensing his next album to
companies in Europe and North America, while leaving his legions of
British fans scrambling for the few copies available on import.
Originally out on the Belgian label 'Hebra' 42 years ago and never
reissued ever since, this is one of the unmissable 70's ska
classics finally back on vinyl, with the addition of 4 bonus
tracks!
