Skinhead Moonstomp [Deluxe Edition]

2008 digitally remastered and expanded two CD deluxe edition of this classic original Ska album from 1969 featuring a host of unreleased and rare tracks from the era. Whether recording as the Pyramids, Seven Letters or The Bees, Symarip serve up an tracks which to make Reggae and Skinhead fans jump up around the world. The Pyramids had built their reputation as Prince Buster's backing band during the Jamaican star's visits to the UK, but it was with the phenomenal success of their barely disguised alias' "Skinhead Moonstomp" that the group went down in legend. Where a single venture is, an album must follow. Symarip were well aware that their skinhead fans wanted more of the same, and the band served it up with relish. A dozen brace-snapping, big boot-stomping, sing- and shout-along songs, with the occasional nod back to the rocksteady era to allow the boys a time out to chat up the birds. 46 tracks. Sanctuary.
