Love And Understanding

Laurel Aitken, The Godfather Of Ska, was a prolific artist who, when wasn’t on tour, used to go to the studio for producing new material. From all that sessions there where a lot of unfinished tapes with new stuff that never saw the light.

Liquidator rescues these tapes and take them back to the recording studio for finishing all that projects with the Mighty Megatons backing, who have written the unfinished parts and played the perfect backing track for some of the most brilliant moments in Laurel’s career. These collection of songs have been produced y Mighty Megaton’s leader Rudy King, who has composed, arranged, recorded and produced with an incredible result.

There’s no information about when Laurel started recording these tunes originally or the studios he used. In most of the recordings there was no backing instruments, just Laurel’s vocals, sometimes a keyboard or a click, but not much. So it has been quite important the Mighty Megatons work for re-writing and re-arranging Laurel’s compositions.
