Over 50 minutes of classic Tradional Ska! These legendary 1996 historic recordings from the Founding Fathers of Ska THE SKATALITES and the Godfather of Ska LAUREL AITKEN were the first studio sessions with these two ska legends....some 30 years since their first recordings together in Jamaica.

This release has now been extended to include a bonus live album captured during the legendary Ska Spalsh tour of 1996.

The album features new excellent studio versions of Laurel Aitken’s "Rude Boy Dreams” , "It’s Too late” and "Bad Minded Woman” as well as new recordings of Ska classics like ‘In The Mood For Ska’ and The Skatalites fave… ‘Come Down’.

There are also two live tracks from the original live recordings from the 1996 "Ska Splash”

album plus a bonus track of ‘Confucious’ recorded on another date on that tour.

Informative liner notes are supplied by Richie Senior from German Ska chart act Dr. Ring Ding & The Senior All Stars
