BOSSA NOVA HOP * LAUREL AITKEN * DICE 13 * UK

Probably recorded in London just before his return to Jamaica, Bossa Nova Hop is the B side of Sweet Jamaica (the West Indies must have been on his mind) it's a laid back shuffle with a Latin feel (Laurel Aitken was born in Cuba) and a nice rasping sax break.
