UNRELEASED SKATALITES ALBUM DISCOVERED
Rolling Steady With The Skatalites: The 1983 Music Mountain Sessions
Motion is extremely excited to announce the release of an album
recorded in 1983 when the Skatalites reformed to appear at Jamaica's
Sunsplash Festival.
Ten tracks were recorded at Music Mountain studio under the guidance of
producer/promoter Tony Owens. Eight tracks were finished but two were
left unfinished (the horns were still to be recorded) and these may
appear on the CD version as bonus tracks.
This was the last time the Skatalites recorded in the country of their
birth.
Only one of these songs, Big Trombone, has been heard before [a live
version appears on the Stretching Out album] The other nine are being
heard for the first time.
Click on the link to hear Big Trombone. We will be uploading different
tracks over the next few days:
