Customer Reviews

Excellent collection - strongly recommended
If you like Twotone (Madness, Specials, etc.) and you'd like to know more about its origins in the first wave of Ska, then this substantial collection of Ska classics is a fantastic piece of musical archaeology. The selection of tracks is very varied and interesting, with many of the great early Ska pioneers well represented. Fascinating, and strongly recommended!

Amazing
An absolutely fantastic CD. A must buy CD for the summer, nothing says it's summer like ska music.

SKA MANIA
Great Ska from the early days 60's 70's, unfortunately some 80's, some good some not so.
All round happy music.
