Various Artists - Swan Lake & Other Reggae Favourites

 
King Reggie was the producer of this album (Jack Price) featuring four songs sung by him.
Swan Lake is a famous classical composition by Tchaikovsky from Russia (1840-1893). Your favourite blog admin happens to have learned to play this piece on the keys, as he got to know it from Madness. It was relatively easy to learn, you can do that too by practising only ten minutes per day! In the version on this album also a beautiful flute solo can be heard.
Side 2 starts with a rendition of Shaft that differs a lot in arrangement from the well-known version of The Crystalites. The album ends with an uplifting track by the Twinkle Brothers, who started as a hotel band.
