Itals Ba Da Doo Ba Dey

[grasshopper]

I recently bought this new repress 45 of an early 70's track by the Itals, a Rupie Edwards production. It's a killer track and i highly recommend it.

I was wondering if anyone knows if this is actually by the well known Itals group of Ronnie Davis, Keith butler, L. Ricketts (w/ several lps on NIghthawk) or another entirely different group using the same name.

Can anyone shed some light on this? I think the Itals formed later than when this track was issued.

You can see it here:

i would assume this was/is a different itals, as there was a group called itals even back in the late 1960s

yeah i think a different itals. this group also recorded the great "african plane" for rupie around this same time.
