Under the alternative name The Bees, Syramip were one of the UK's first proper reggae groups. In 1969, they signed to Trojan and released their first album, Syramip Moonstomp, a year later. It's from that album that the lead cut on this essential Harlem Shuffle Records release is taken. A-side 'These Boots Are Made For Walking' is a raucous, ska-influenced rendition of the now much-covered Lee Hazlewood song first recorded by Nancy Sinatra in 1966. It's a fiery and forthright cover and one guaranteed to put smiles on faces. Over on side B you'll find 'That's Nice', a sweeter, slower and more laidback reggae ballad recorded during the Syramip Moonstomp sessions, but previously only available on later CD compilations.
