By the look of the master-tape, it has never even planned to be released as a single and kept especially for the LP release, which might have meant to be the Soul Brothers version of the Skatalites' iconic "Ska Authentic" album. This seriously rare recording is a must-check for everyone from the beginners of the Jamaican music to the Ska masters.
