Skinhead Hits The Town 1968-1969 Various Artists SKU: KSLP073 Barcode: 5060135762513 15.00 £15.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Kingston Sounds Released Date: 28th January 2022 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info The Skinhead sound grew from the music that was coming out of Jamaica around 1968 to 1971 and was adopted by the British Youth. The music seemed tailor made for their sharp look and natty dress style, a style that was also heavily influenced by the Jamaican Rude Boy look. The skinhead movement started around 1968 and by the following year of 1969 became the style and fashion of the British teenagers. The uniform of the skinheads consisted of boots, braces and jeans and the upbeat reggae sounds seemed to match the style perfectly. The tempo of the music was picking up after the 1966-1968 Rocksteady period, which saw the earlier Ska sound slowed down. The sound system dances needed a slower beat to swing the night away to, some say to cater for the extreme heatwave that hit Jamaica around that time. But that period had passed, and the evolution of the Reggae beat had again found a new pulse to hang its songs by. A more up tempo beat that all Jamaicans, British youths and various pockets of people around the world could groove the nights away to. We have selected a bunch of tunes that would have provided a soundtrack to those heady times, so sit back and enjoy some of the tunes the youths were listening to when the Skinheads hit the town…. Hope you enjoy the set… Artist Various Artists Genre Reggae / Dub / Ska Label Kingston Sounds Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Copy Cats - Derrick Morgan & Owen Grey Children Get Ready - The Versatiles Hey Boy – Hey Girl - Derrick & Patsy Scarface - Bunny Lee Allstars Bangarang - Stranger Cole & Lester Sterling Rhythm Hips - Ronald Russell River To The Bank - Derrick Morgan The Worm - Lloyd Robinson Drink & Gamble - Young Freddie Last Flight To Reggae City - Stranger Cole & Lester Sterling Push Push - The Termites The Horse - Eric Barnett Lets Have Some Fun - Dervon & The Tartans Buy Me A Rainbow - Max Romeo Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Various Artists View Product Quick View Various Artists Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy presents ‘Balearic Breakfast’ Volume 3 Electronica | Heavenly | 2LP Released 7th June 2024 £31.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy presents ‘Balearic Breakfast’ Volume 3 £31.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Heavenly SKU: HVNLP224 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 7th June 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Psych!
