Our Take

Upon first glance, one might assume that a compilation album titled "Dancing Down Orange Street" would transport you to a sunny Jamaican beach where the reggae beats are as smooth as the rum punch. But oh, how wrong you would be. This expanded edition takes you on a wild ride through the underground music scene of 1960s London, where mod culture and ska collide in a frenzy of danceable tracks.

The album kicks off with The Paragons' iconic "The Tide Is High," a classic tune that sets the tone for what's to come. As you make your way through the tracklist, you're greeted with infectious rhythms, soulful vocals, and enough horn sections to make you feel like you're cruising down Carnaby Street in a vintage Vespa.

But what truly sets this album apart is the way it seamlessly blends ska, rocksteady, and even a touch of Motown soul. Tracks like Alton Ellis' "Girl I've Got a Date" and The Ethiopians' "Train to Skaville" showcase the diversity and creativity of the era, while still keeping you grooving from start to finish.

So, grab your parka, dust off your dancing shoes, and get ready to hit the floor with "Dancing Down Orange Street: Expanded Edition." With its impeccable selection of tunes and vibrant energy, this album is sure to have you skanking all night long.
