In the Mood for Ska: The Moonska Years Review by Thom Jurek
Recall does its typically great double-disc reissue thing and compiles a slew of sides by the Skatalites recorded originally for the Moonska label. The most amazing thing in the long life of this band is that the quality never suffered even when the recording techniques got better. There are numerous vocalists here including Laurel Aitken, Lord Tamano, King Bravo, and Doreen Shaffer, among others. The band plays more than its fair share of instrumentals, as well, and of course, the late, great Tommy McCook was in the house.
