Well I was wondering what Laurel Aitken's A Scandal in A Brixton Market sounds like, and now thanks to John L (who sent me the mp3) I know. You can hear it too, bad man! murder! police! and all - it really does sound like people having a row in the market.
Laurel Aitken (1927-2005) was a Cuban-born and Jamaican-raised singer, who started out in calypso and then became a well-known ska artist. He moved to England in 1960, settling in Brixton and later in Leicester. A Scandal in A Brixton Market (1969) is one of the numerous singles he recorded for Nu-Beat, Bluebeat and other labels.
