about

Rock-A-Shacka crew are proud to announce our new release of classic and previously unreleased Prince Buster productions - ‘Roll On Charles Street’ on CD/LP. Continuing from where we left off with our successful release of Prince Buster’s ‘Let’s Go To The Dance’ we hope you enjoy our latest Ska, Ballard and shuffle selection from the ‘King Of Ska’ Prince Buster!

The compilation will feature beautiful vocals / instrumentals from the likes of Prince Buster, Derrick Morgan, Patsy, Slim Smith, the mighty Don Drummond and Buster All Stars.
Several incredible tracks have never been released to the public before!
We bring you the alternative and raw take of “Prince Of Peace”, a deadly and previously unreleased instrumental by the genius Don Drummond titled “Vietnam”, a truly wicked instrumental titled “Charles Street Cowboy” (dig the cowbell !)…..a lovely duet with Prince Buster and Slim Smith titled “I’m Sorry”…..plus a deadly take of “Summertime” by Buster All Stars.
We have also included classics like the Ska version of “Hey Train” a cover version of Duke Ellington’s “A Train”, which was only pressed on dub plate handed to the core sound men of Prince Buster’s “Voice Of The People” sound system.
Roland Alphonso’s “Roll On Charles Street” is again from dub plate and apparently recorded at the same period as the masterpiece and rude boy classic “Rude Rude Rudie” (aka “Don’t Throw Stones”)…..the classic “Stop That Train” by The Spanish Town Skabeats an original take to the famous Jamaican rock steady classic by Keith and Tex for Derrick Harriot…..to name a few !

世界中のコレクターから賞賛されたロックステディ集「Let’s Go To The Dance」に続き、
キラースカをコンパイルした究極のプリンス・バスター・セレクション。
デューク・エリントンの「A列車で行こう」を疾走感溢れるスカにアレンジした「Hey Train」は、当時バスターのサウンドマンにだけ手渡されたダブプレートとして有名。コレクターであればいつか手に入れたいと思っていた幻の一曲。
バスターの代表曲であり、ルードボーイ・チューンの最高傑作とも言える「Don’t Throw Stones」、そして同時期の録音と思われるマイナートーンの流麗かつキラーな「Roland Alphonso - Roll On Charles Street」は、某イギリスのサウンドマンが秘蔵していたスペシャル。
キース&テックスのカバーにより大ヒットしたジャマイカンスタンダードのオリジナルテイク「Stop That Train - Spanish Town SkaBeats」は、バスタープロダクションの真髄とも言えるキラーボーカルスカにして、アルバム初収録。
そのほか、ブラックモスリム、黒人解放運動の盟友モハメド・アリに捧げられた「Prince Of Peace」の別テイクやドン・ドラモンドの未発表曲等、世界初の音源化を多数収録した、ロッカシャッカ渾身の作品にして、プリンス・バスターのスピリットが冴え渡る最高のスカ・セレクション。

Near perfect compilation with tons of big tunes! And a few that I'd never heard before. Amazing collection! "Giving Up on Love" and esp the 2 Zoot Simms tracks really have that signature Studio One sound. Totally unmistakable and instantly recognizable in the same way that Motown is. DreadLion
