'Lost recordings' from the early New York ska scene in 1980, on a limited edition milky clear vinyl LP. When the NYC ska scene germinated in parallel to the UK Two-Tone movement, the Max's Kansas City club was at the heart of it. The clubs pioneering record label, run by Max's booker Peter Crowley, recorded a number of sessions in 1980, including with legendary Skatalites founder Roland Alfonso. But only two 7" singles, by San Francisco's The Offs and NYC's The Terrorists, ever got issued prior to the label folding.
Only now can these five studio recordings of Roland Alphonso's most well-known ska instrumentals and unissued sessions by The Terrorists and The Offs be heard; ten of the album's 15 tracks are issued for the very first time.
