Various - Soul Jazz Records: Studio One 007: Licensed To Ska

Soul Jazz Records present a newly expanded double vinyl edition of Studio One 007: Licensed To Ska, previously only ever available as a limited Record Store Day 7" box set. Newly remastered, the compilation features rare killer cuts from The Skatalites, Lee Perry, Jackie Mittoo, The Wailers, Roland Alphonso and The Soul Brothers. Aside from the James Bond-related cuts, the set also includes killer tracks from the secret agent 1969 spoof Our Man Flint, the Clint Eastwood-starring Spaghetti Western Hang ‘Em High, Brazilian movie masterpiece ‘Black Orpheus’ and more.

This edition's extensive sleeve notes discuss the connections between James Bond, Jamaica and Ska music as well as an extended essay on The Skatalites and their postmodern love and ska-ification of all styles of music – from classical music and television themes to detective fiction.

Heavyweight double vinyl produced by Soul Jazz Records in 2023.
