Side 1. Simmer DownSide 2. How Many Times

The always well curated Rock A Shaka Japan comes through with another superb 7" here. 'Simmer Down' was the first single released by The Wailers, who were accompanied by the ska supergroup, The Skatalites, with production from the man, the legend, Clement "Coxsone" Dodd in 1963. It was the number one hit in Jamaica when it was released in February and was all about sending a message to violent gangs and crime lords to calm their fires. The excellent and lo-fi 'How Many Times' is a raw, real jam that swaggers to and fro with real spunk.
