Album Notes
The Skatalites: Harold McKenzie (guitar); Lester Sterling (alto saxophone); Roland Alphonso, Tommy McCook (tenor saxophone); Johnny Moore, Baba Brooks (trumpet); Don Drummond (trombone); Jackie Mittoo (piano); Lloyd Brevett (bass); Lloyd Knibbs, Drumbago (drums).Additional personnel includes: The Maytals, Stranger & Patsy, Marguerita Mahfood, Shenley Duffus, Justin Hinds & The Dominoes, Owen Grey, Leon Silvera, Eric Morris, Duke Reid, The Techniques.Recorded at Treasure Isle Recording Studios and West Indies Records Ltd., Kingston, Jamaica between 1962 and 1965.Although there are many compilations of Jamaican singles played on by the Skatalites, the Booker T and the MGs of Kingston, there's surprisingly little overlap between them. This is because Randy Chin's legendary studio and label was remarkably productive, releasing singles weekly for the ultra-competitive Jamaican music scene. The sheer output is remarkable, as is the amazingly high quality of this enormous body of work. 1993's HOG IN A COCOA--named for Stranger and Patsy's inscrutable but wonderful single, included here--is a typically fine gathering of some of these now-rare singles, featuring seven percolating ska instrumentals released under the Skatalites' own name and seven tracks where the Skatalites, the house band at Randy's, back some of the other great singers and musicians of the Kingston scene, including the Maytals, Justin Hinds and the Dominoes and the fairly obscure female singer Marguerita, whose slinky "Woman Come" is one of the set's highlights.
