Described as "Ska infused Northern Soul" (a popular genre at the time, around here) - this version of the Hawaii 5-O theme was released by Arthur 2-Stroke and the Chart Commandos in 1982.
It reminds me of one of the best live gigs I ever attended around this time, by this group - in that fantastically atmospheric venue which was The Cooperage, Newcastle (an anciently built, brick-lined, vaulted cellar).
I later worked alongside one of the trumpeters (Steve Nash, who hosts the Soundcloud site linked above) while I was training in a psychiatric hospital.
