Skatalites, The
Treasure Isle Time
When talking aout Ska Music one group of musicians whose name always comes to the forefront of the conversation are The
Skatalites. Formed around 1965 and named originally after the Soviet space satellite which was big news at the time.
With a little help from band member Tommy Mc Cook making a play on the characteristic Skasound made by the guitar when
following the after beat of the music. The band would have a name to go with its distinctive musical style. The time
span of The Skatalites career considering their output of hundreds of tunes was a relatively short one of around two
years. We have caught a great set of tunes that the band cut at the legendary Treasure Isle Studios, built out of wood
and positioned above Duke Reids liquor store, it somehow worked in getting a great sound out of the band. We have cherry
picked a selection for your musical pleasure..
