LIMITED REPRESS in on RANDOM COLOR VINYL!  Mostly RED but other variations do exist! At last year’s Ska Brewing anniversary party in Durango CO – Ska Brewing and Jump Up sat down and decided to unleash an all-USA collection for Record Store Day 2018! It was a nail-biter, but in the end we squeaked out enough copies to supply release shows in Colorado and Chicago and the balance have been shipping worldwide ever since! Then we released the collection on limited edition cassette for Cassette Store Day! Seventeen bands with all kinds of ska styles represented. Forthcoming tracks from JUMP UP albums appear from THE FUSS, BOSS RIOT, BIG SKA BAND, THE PRIZEFIGHTERS – plus CHRIS MURRAY (with CapsLock), BOOMTOWN UNITED, BREACHERS, BANDULUS, MONTY NEYSMITH & THE BISHOPS, DENDRITES, BLUE HORNETS, GREEN ROOM ROCKERS, BOWCAT, BUSTER’S GHOST, THE CROMBIES, 2 TONE LIZARD KINGS and THE TOASTERS!

Joey Ferry presents BIG SKA BAND LP vinyl / CD – feat COREY GLOVER of LIVING COLOUR on vocals!

Big Ska Band has been together for almost 25 years and has recorded five albums to date including “Skallelujah”, “Big Ska”, “55:22”, “Revival” and the brand new self titled Jump Up Records release. The group is led by Grammy winning producer Joe Ferry, whose credits include “Hi Bop Ska” by The Skatalites; “Greetings From Skamania” by The Skatalites; and “The Age of Insects”, “Hit Me” and “Punk Steady” by SKAndalous Allstars. Joe Ferry is also co-writer of the modern ska classic, “Skalloween” which has been re-recorded for this new collection. On this ten track album the band’s lead vocals are shared by Joey Ray, who is one of the most in-demand session singers in New York City, and Corey Glover from Grammy Award winning rock legends Living Colour. Stylistically, the album delivers something for everyone – up tempo third wave skankers with hi-octane horns and gang chorus, laid back summer reggae jams, jazzy Skatalites instrumentals, SKAandalous All Stars style cover tributes (including Radiohead’s “Creep” and a  stadium rock medley), rub-a-dubby steppers and so much more! A great listen from start to finish – this record literally takes you back to the diversity of records that came out in the 90s third wave heyday.
