Paul PK - Jumped the Gun 7" (1982)

 There is an established country artist in from London U.K. called Little Ginny who put out a few albums in the late 70s / early 80s. Her bass player was Paul Kirby. He played in bands of various genres and he was also a songwriter who dabbled in producing. Eventually Little Ginny and Paul got married. 

Since Paul was familiar with different genres of music he knew that the emerging ska/reggae sound of the late 70s/early 80s was a path worth taking.

He encouraged Little Ginny to record a ska/reggae song. So, in 1984, she did a ska cover of Don Gibson's 1961 hit Sea of Heartbreak but she didn't use the name "Little Ginny", she used the name Ginette for this record:

This may or may not have been inspired by Paul's own ska reggae single presented to you right here and one might even go so far as to say this reggae/ska record was inspired a bit by old country music.

It seems both of them just kind of faded from the world of music after this.
