This is a great two CD set covering the first year of the legendary Blue Beat label. Although the cover states "The Best in Ska" the music contained is a wonderful selection of pre-ska Jamaican blues, r&b doo-wop and shuffle. The sound quality is excellent throughout and the liner notes are superbly written and researched.

I really delved into the unknown when I bought this CD, i thought Id get a lot of vintage ska and was surprised to find it has a lot more in common with 50s american R n B ( think atlantic chess type stuff with a touch of Caribbean flavouring) can't complain its lovely stuff would recommend anyone listen to it

Good compilation. We were quite pleased with our order. Has many tracks. If you are an oldies fan or simply just like the music, this is an important cd to have in your collection. Especially when you have folk of that era around. Impress them with your collection!
