Genre: Boss Reggae/Horror Reggae

Produced by: Laurel Aitken

Year of release: 1970 as a white label.

This release is the very first official release of GHOST HOUR. This irresistible track was the last in the King Horror series and was only released as a B side on a white label that never got released in 1970 on the REGGAE label. REGGAE

was a subsidiary of U.K. label Doctor Bird and only released around ten singles between 1969 and 1970, all highly collectibles including tracks by King Horror, The Message, Pama Dice and the Skinhead Reggae instrumental classic "Tea House" by The Opening.

GHOST HOUR is not the most famous KING HORROR's track but it is the rarest and is really in our humble opinion one of King Horror very best tracks and a fantastic companion of the Prince of Darkness on the flip...
