Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Best of Ska is a unique offering from Disky Records since it combines the greatest hits from both the early original Jamaican Ska period of the early to mid Sixties together with the great UK Ska revival of the eighties - as exemplified by The Specials. This comprehensive 3-CD boxed set delivers on the premise of its title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of Ska, 21 Nov 2003

By	m d stanley (wakefield, west yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Just received this mixture of 60s (original) and 70s Ska. It's fantastic to hear artists like Lord Tanamo, the Maytals and Desmond Dekker for the first time since the early '70s. There's a good mixture on all three CDs. Five stars fo the Ska nostalgist, probably not so high for the purist

4.0 out of 5 stars SKA-TASTIC, 24 Nov 2003

By	"williams_rocks15" - See all my reviews

This is a top ska collection, it contains plenty of classics including a few from the godfathers of SKA music, The Specials. Defenite stand out tracks are Rat Race, Rudy, a message to you and Ghosttown.
Its cheap and you get over 50 tracks to chose from, there has to be some you like in that lot!
