The 12track Skatalites album do make for a tidy s&ler 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, DonDeLion and Yard Broom featuring the classic lineup on fine form, with Don Drummond on trombone, Jackie Mittoos piano and trumpeter Jonny Dizzy Moore laying down some foundational rhythms.
Pressed on thicker, higher-grade vinyl — often 180 grams — for improved durability and fidelity. Heavyweight LPs reduce surface noise and deliver a deeper, more stable sound, making them a preferred choice for serious listeners.
The classic long-playing record — rich, warm, and timeless. LPs usually hold a full album, pressed at 33⅓ RPM, offering the most authentic way to experience music as artists intended. Ideal for home listening and collectors who love the ritual of the needle drop.
