Before moving to London in 1960, Laurel Aitken had already proved his credentials in a variety of musical styles, so when the UK was engulfed in all things Mod soon after his arrival on these shores, it came as no surprise he was equally adept at performing hard-hitting R&B. “Voodoo Woman” highlights a variety of solid Rhythm & Blues and driving Ska sounds from the sixties that proved popular on the original Mod scene and are now coveted by more recent converts to the style. And with all but one of these ultra collectable tracks unavailable elsewhere, this set will appeal to hipsters of all ages, along with anyone who digs early Jamaican music.
