I LOVE this song. There used to be (will be again?) a ska/reggae jam
band (if you will) in Boston called King J that played this all the
time. Who did the original - the Skatalites? And was it originally a ska
song? It always seemed like something older that had been redone in a
ska style.

mid 70s. I am pretty sure it was the skatalites, but I'll have to dig it out of
its box and double check. Studio 1 from the 60s, yeah it was probably the
skatalites.

Not a ska song? A whoa! The subject asks: greatest ska instrumentals?

Er... I don't have any mystically rare ones, but 'Shot In The

P.S. I s'pose it's one way to draw attention to that auction - never
paid £100 for a single.

I have had some live performance of "Dance Cleopatra" on a tape once,
iirc it was a live show in a london club, mid-80s, of british and
european "modern" ska bands, featuring prince buster with about three
pieces. Does somebody know that record?
thanks,
Martin

There were a handful of Buster tunes re-issued on 12", but I don't
recall ever seeing that one. I do have some of the others, Whine &
Grine, Al Capone etc. Mainly the more obvious ones.

prince buster. it is available on the "trojan warriors: for your
protection-the best of the trojans" comp on moonska. also, sometimes,
the 12" "stack o' lee" ep by the trojans and prince buster pops up on
ebay, which i think "dance cleopatra" appears on there. one more, the
trojans also released a 12" ep called "phoenix" which has a song
called "jericho battle", which is a cover of the roland alphoso
instrumental cut to "dance cleopatra".

"African Rock" is a 1974 Revolutionaries track and sounds really out of
place on this record.

I find early reggae from this era is often referred to as ska. I think
it may stem from the Two-Tone days which was considered ska revival,
even though a lot of it was more early reggae.

The music press referred to songs like Liquidator, Monkey Spanner and Cherry o
Baby as ska even in the late 60s/early 70s.

here's a quote from chris wilson, a & r guy from heartbeat records, he
lived in jamaica during the 50's & 60's. "rocksteady...it was more
sensual. you'd go to a party and get down....and then it picked back
up from that in early reggae, which i thought was a return to ska,
because it was more topical."
i can see where someone might think that early reggae was very similar
to ska, but there are some technical differences. i don't know enough
about music to say exactly what they are(i'm sure someone here could do
that), but for starters, the bass lines are more syncopated, and the
presence of horns is diminished while the organ became more dominant.
