    • 1. Don Drummond Jr. – Black Thursday
    • 2. Earl Bros – Beautiful Brown Eyes

    Vin Gordon, otherwise known as ‘Don Drummond Junior’ was the trombonist on over a thousand Studio 1 sessions, and the Skatalites’s ‘Black Sunday’ (a cover of Luis Bonfa ‘Samba De Orpheu’ ) is still one of his favourite tunes, and is a regular feature in his live sets with the Reel Rock band. He recorded this early 70’s cut with the Soul Syndicate at Treasure Isle studio, and it was originally released on the famous Tramp label, with an uptempo love song from the mysterious Earl Bros on the B side.
