In 1983 all of the original Skatalites (minus trombonist Don Drummond) reformed to appear at Sunsplash in Jamaica where they supported Bob Marley. While they were in JA preparing for the show, they recorded ten tracks at Music Mountain studio under the guidance of producer/promoter Tony Owens. This is the first time any of this amazing material has been heard before and Includes tribute song Big Trombone with vocal by Lord Tanamo. With detailed sleevenotes by David Katz, this is an absolute must for Skatalites and reggae followers amongst you - and another excellent release for the Motion imprint.
