This record is the centrepiece of Ethan Buckler’s high concept ‘blues’ trilogy that began with King Kong’s ‘Movie Star’ debut single (later reissued on Drag City) and concluded with the band’s debut LP, \u003ci\u003eThe Old Man on the Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e. Here, a power-trio lineup plays a triad of perfect songs and, in so doing, saves rock and roll from being ‘Albinized’. In Conflict zine, Gerard Cosloy described this era of King Kong thusly: “King Kong have an almost unnatural understanding of the relationship between the various instruments. Or, as The Frogs would say: ‘That was a good drum break.’” You need this record.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trash Flow","offers":[{"title":"Black 7\"","offer_id":50413442695499,"sku":"2193938","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/1_09ca94ec-fb9f-430f-9dbe-43ce141ef6f9.jpg_e8531e25_thumbnail_4096.webp?v=1726673897"},{"product_id":"agony-and-pain","title":"Agony and Pain","description":"\u003cp\u003eKing Kong's \"Agony \u0026amp; Pain\" has long been one of our favorite Jah Life tunes, released only on JA 7\" in 1987, well-heavy in a sound killing style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jah Life","offers":[{"title":"Black 7\"","offer_id":50444029460811,"sku":"2176988","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/jl_004_7b260690_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727023589"},{"product_id":"repatriation-2","title":"Repatriation","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2018, King Kong and Irie Ites joined forces to release a reggae masterpiece that brought King Kong back to the forefront of reggae artists internationally. \u003ci\u003eRepatriation\u003c\/i\u003e, a critically acclaimed album, features 12 original tracks and boasts a dream team of legendary musicians, including Roots Radics, Mafia and Fluxy, Sly and Robbie, Dwight Pinkney, Bongo Herman, Russ D and Naram.
