Toots & The Maytals - Do The Boogaloo / Bim Today, Bam Tomorrow


Already changing hands for daft money on the day of release, Trojan's offering for 2011's Record Store Day is a heavyweight 7" with two alternate takes on a couple of Toots' best loved tracks: the A side Do The Boogaloo is a version of the genre naming Do the Reggae, and the flip is a slightly funkier cut of follow up single Bim Today, Bam Tomorrow.

to avoid having to pay ruinous ebay prices, here they are.

Do the Boogaloo

Bim Today, Bam Tomorrow
