5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the most important skatalites recordings...,
By
This review is from: Stretching Out (Audio CD)
For any fan of the Skatalites or ska in general, this is one of the most important recordings to own. I believe some of it was originally recorded on a single tape deck. I own the tape version of it, and the lack of recording quality is far overshadowed by the quality of the music. This album is a must have for any fan of the genre. Be warned though...after listening to this album, you will feel the need to buy more of the Skatalites' work.

The Skatalites put the "JAM" in Jamaica!,
By trevor kaplan (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stretching Out (Audio CD)
As a devoted roots fanatic, I am truly ashamed to say I only recently discovered these awesome pioneers of reggae music. I sometimes find ska too repetitive to enjoy, but the skatalites are a MAJOR exception. Their horn jams are truly unparalled in this, and perhaps any field of music. The tracks here begin and end with a bit too much repetition, but are saved by consistently incredible solos in the middle. EVERYONE I play it for agrees. Unfortunately, "Stretching out" has very poor sound quality (originally recorded on tape) so it can't get 5 stars. But, rest assured, it is second only to "Ball of Fire" in jamming and deserves a coveted spot in any music collection.

Skatalites most candid & comprehensive archive,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stretching Out (Audio CD)
This is The Skatalites most candid & comprehensive archive. This is an incredibly relaxed live set chock full of explosive and spontaneous solos. The guys really let it hang way out on this 1983 live recording.Recorded in Kingston, Jamaica. The band sounds EXACTLY like its 60's classic singles. "Big Trombone" is a rousing tribute to the late, great Don Drummond.
