GORTON'S PANTHERS - Theme From Panic Button b/w Mediterranean Samba





From the 1964 soundtrack of the Jayne Mansfield movie ,Panic Button. Side a is kinda soundtracky and dated ,while side b is a samba! The film was produced by Ron Gorton for Gorton Associates Presentations ,which would explain the kooky name of the band. And with that record label ,(and band name!) ,you might be expecting some kinda radical Black Panther shit ,but noooo! The full album and movie poster are pictured above.Never seen it,don't own it!

BYRON LEE & THE DRAGONAIRES - Dance The Ska





From the year I was born ,1964 ,comes one of my favorite ska albums of all time,hands down! Byron and the boys played the World's Fair in '64 also,and tried to introduce the new music known as "ska" ,to American audiences.One of the earliest practitioners of the genre,which was still in it's infancy when this was recorded. An album for the ages,every self-respecting ska band should be covering songs from this disc. If you haven't heard this,you'll never know what you've been missing! Grade A+ ska ,to the max! Thanks to Ralph at Record Trader!
