Side 1. These Boots Are Made For WalkingSide 2. That's Nice
Under the alternative name The Bees, Syramip were one of the UK's first proper reggae groups. In 1969, they signed to Trojan and released their first album, Syramip Moonstomp, a year later. It's from that album that the lead cut on this essential Harlem Shuffle Records release is taken. A-side 'These Boots Are Made For Walking' is a raucous, ska-influenced rendition of the now much-covered Lee Hazlewood song first recorded by Nancy Sinatra in 1966. It's a fiery and forthright cover and one guaranteed to put smiles on faces. Over on side B you'll find 'That's Nice', a sweeter, slower and more laidback reggae ballad recorded during the Syramip Moonstomp sessions, but previously only available on later CD compilations.
