The Bluebeaters landmark debut album from 1999 receives a first-ever vinyl release. Featuring band’s hits like Cher’s “Believe” or Black’s “Wonderful Life” all cooked in a strictly mid 60s Jamaican Blue Beat & Rock Steady style. Gatefold 2LP clear Vinyl with printed inserts, limited to 500 copies worldwide, instant collector's item.

Record Kicks in collaboration with Universal Music Italy presents the release of The Bluebeaters seminal debut LP “The Album” for the first time ever on wax on a limited edition clear vinyl double Gatefold LP on March 31. Way before the vinyl comeback of the 2010s, “The Album” was released in 1999 on CD and on 3 limited edition promo 12”s that are now very in-demand in the scene on V2 Records. “The Album” marked a generation of Soul, Rock Steady and Reggae fans in Italy and now 24 years after its original release, it gets published on full vinyl.

Fronted by “The King” Giuliano Palma on vocals backed with members of cult Italian bands of the 90s such as “Casino Royale”, “Africa Unite” and “Fratelli di Soledad”, The Bluebeaters’ analog recordings finally find the vinyl format they deserve. On the album’s track list you can find Jamaican music classics such as “World’s Fair” from the Skatalites, Joe Higgs’ “There’s a Reward” or Bob Marley’s “Coming In From The Cold” mixed with hits such as Cher’s “Believe”, Black’s “Wonderful Life” or even 1978 “See You Tonite” by Gene Simmons from The Kiss that perfectly sound as if they were recorded by Clement "Coxsone" Dodd at Studio1 in Kingston in 1966.

The Bluebeaters are not newcomers on Record Kicks, the Milan label released their “Everybody Knows” album in 2015. Top Italian musicians in love with vintage Jamaican ska and reggae and blessed by Ken Booth, during the last 25 years of their career they headlined festivals like Rototom Sunsplash and International Ska Fest in London. Among their fans, they count the likes of Gaz Mayall, David Rodigan and the legendary late lamented Lloyd Knibb (The Skatalites).

The reissue of The BB’s “The Album” is part of Record Kicks’ 2023 initiatives to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Side by side with similar imprints like Daptone, Big Crown, Colemine or Timmion Records, under its motto "The explosive sound from Today's scene", Milan-based record label and music publishing Record Kicks, has been pitching the contemporary funk & soul scene since 2003. With over 250 physical releases under the belt, the label has released bands from all over the globe and earned support of VIP fans such as rap superstars Jay-Z, Tyler The Creator and Dr. Dre, who sampled the label’s catalogue.

Living up to the promise of "Momentum" to build on their 70s cop-show funky soundtrack roots by exploring new directions, this album takes the band to some fantastic new places without sacrificing the gritty analog sound we love. I love to see a great band keep growing. Really outstanding work!!! xpatofthemind
