Derived from a single 18 hour session at Studio One in November 1964, Justin and brother Ivan laid on food, drink and ganja: as Justin tells it \"This was a monster session and it turned out the greatest recording for me\". The highlights were the five original compositions by Don Drummond - \"Marcus Junior\", \"The Reburial\", \"Confucious\", \"Chinatown\" and \"Smiling\" along some well-chosen cover versions. Two from the Duke Ellington book: \"Ska-Ra-Van\" a take on the classic \"Caravan\" and \"Surftide Seven\", Ellington's \"In A Mellotone\". Title track \"Ska-Boo-Da-Ba\" is a version of Bill Doggett's 1958 \"King\" US 45 \"Boo-Da-Ba\". \"China Clipper\" and \"Ringo\" (titled \"Ringo Oiwake\") are taken from Arthur Lyman's \"Taboo\" LP. The last track on this fine LP, \"Lawless Street\", is a feature for Roland Alphonso.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Virtual Label","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44835001991219,"sku":"781005629693","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/5935\/9283\/files\/cover_5d9c76d7-a617-4c4f-bdce-c39a8407809c.jpg?v=1788984045","url":"https:\/\/seasickbham.com\/products\/skatalites-the-ska-boo-da-ba-lp","provider":"Seasick Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
