Scofflaws – The Scofflaws

Debut 1991 album from NYC big band traditional ska legends on vinyl for the first time, originally released by Moon Ska NYC. The Scofflaws early sound was characterized by strong R&B and jazz influences as well as eclectic covers of such songs as Henry Mancini's 'A Shot in the Dark' and Danny Elfman's theme for Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, while original songs like 'Rudy's Back', 'Paul Getty' and 'Goin' Back To Kingston' became cult favorites due to the offbeat lyrics and quirky vocal stylings of bandleader Richard 'Sammy' Brooks, co-founder Mike Drance, bassist Victor Rice and trombonist Buford O'Sullivan..
