King Apparatus S/T

Originally released in 1991 on Raw Energy Records.

King Apparatus self titled first album can best be described as a skanking fun treat for the ears. You can feel the energy on each track on King Apparatus, and you will find your toes tapping along to the faster paced songs like "Non-Stop Drinking" and "Made For T.V." and your head bobbing along to the more reggae inspired number "King Apparatus".

This is a must have for any fans of the 2 Tone sound. If you love to dance, this album is for you. And as an extra bonus, the Asian Man reissue has 3 extra tracks added on.
