Winston Groovy / Laurel Aitken - Skinhead A Wreck The Town / Moon Rock 7"
SKU: AB049Description:
'Skinhead Wreck The Town / Moon Rock' is another highly collectable
single produced by Laurel Aitken and was issued in 1969 as a blank
label pre-release only.
The song 'Skinhead Wreck The Town' on the A-side is often
miscredited to Laurel Aitken, but in fact the vocal duties were
done by none less than Winston Groovy. Later in his career Winston
Groovy gained succes with songs like 'Please Don't Make Me Cry'
(which was also covered by UB40) and with his adaption of The
Commodores song 'Nightshift'.
The song 'Moon Rock' on the flipside is a typical Laurel Aitken
song like he wrote so many during those days. Although Aitken is
often praised as the Godfather of Ska, his important contribution
to the early days of reggae may not be overlooked either.
Despite the great quality of both songs, this reissue is the first
time since 1969 that both songs are available again in its original
format. Exclusively for this reissue we have remastered both songs
for vinyl to deliver the best possible sound quality. The single is
pressed on recycled eco vinyl(!) and includes a heavy weight insert
with liner notes.
