Reissued for the very first time on a limited vinyl edition, here’s the fifth work of the godfather of ska Laurel Aitken.
Originally released in 1973 on Count Shelly Records, “Moria Sofia” was completely written, arranged, produced and sung by Aitken himself.
The album is a skillful blend of soul & calypso tunes with a splash of rocksteady. A mandatory gem to be rediscovered by all Jamaican music fans!
