Jamwax proudly presents the reissue of Laurel Aitken’s iconic 1966
single, showcasing two R&B dancefloor gems: Last Night and the
soulful classic Don’t Break Your Promises. Originally released on the
Rainbow label in the UK, this 7-inch record captures the essence of
Aitken’s versatility and his pivotal role in bridging the Jamaican and
British music scenes.
Last Night draws direct inspiration from the sounds of The Mar-Keys

among the mod and skinhead subcultures.
