1964

PRINCE ROYAL * BUSTERS ALL STARS * BLUE BEAT 244 * UK

Laid back Ska instrumental with a very familiar refrain, not unlike a slowed down 30 Pieces Of Silver a record that Prince Buster enjoyed quite a bit of international success with. Not sure weather Prince Royal came before or after 30 Pieces, if it came after then it is likely, being a popular tune at the time that it could have still been in the heads of the same musicians, and not surprising that Buster would have wanted to get the most out of it. Still a fine instrumental with some nice horn sections whatever its pedigree.
