5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent collection - strongly recommended, 14 May 2009
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!
