Jump Start Records has just shared the 1999, The Kingpins' Lootin', Shootin' and Wailin' 7" on a digital platform for the first time, available via Bandcamp.

In a mailer, the label says:

The Kingpins 'Lootin', Shootin' and Wailin' seven-inch was released way back in 1999 and for the longest time I hadn't been able to find the original source tapes, but alas, through the magic of modern audio I'm excited to tell you that for the first time EVER this early Jump Start release is now available exclusively on our Bandcamp page.

This release features two tracks recorded and mixed live with no overdubs of Jamaican-inspired ska and rock steady from this seminal Canadian outfit.

Naturally, there is also a limited edition vinyl pressing to pair with the rerelease, pressed on transparent blue.
