The Hippy Boys: Reggae With The Hippy Boys (TJDCD319)

A bunch of tracks from 1969 1970 the era of evolution into reggae, and also evolution of the Hippy Boys into the Upsetters. Half the tracks are Upsetter recordings, so its all of that style, instrumental and many familiar riddims. Its all good, all very nice, excellent musicianship as you’d expect from these guys, hardens up a bit as the album progresses.

Its all very good for historic reasons bit standing alone it all feels a bit lacking

The Hippy Boys: Reggae With The Hippy Boys **Free Poster and Badge** (TJDCD319)

Format: CD album Released: May 22 2006 Price: £12.99 Originally issued by Trojan on their High Note subsidiary in 1969, Reggae With The Hippy Boys caught the flavour of Skinhead Reggae at a time when the style was at its zenith. The original LP, which featured ten hard hitting, up-tempo instrumentals produced by Jamaica's leading female record label owner, Sonia Pottinger, has long since been considered a highly prized collector's item. Now, it is finally made available once more, albeit in very limited numbers for the newly launched Trojan Fan Club, with the original 10 tracks augmented by 15 bonus tracks of equal rarity and worth. Exclusively to Trojanrecords.com, those ordering this Trojan Fan Club CD online will receive a free, extremely limited edition full colour poster of the artwork, plus a Trojan Fan Club badge. Posters are subject to availability and limited to the first 100 orders.
