Limited 180gm orange colored vinyl LP pressing. The 12-track Skatalites album makes for a tidy sampler of some of the best sides the group cut for producer Duke Reid during the last days of Jamaican R&B and the early ska period. While by no means a definitive collection, Skatalite collates some choice cuts like 'Eastern Standard Time', 'Don-De-Lion' and 'Yard Broom' featuring the classic lineup on fine form, with Don Drummond on trombone, Jackie Mittoo's piano and trumpeter Jonny 'Dizzy' Moore laying down some foundational rhythms.
