A compilation from 1983 featuring a selection of tracks from the 2-Tone roster as chosen by the president Walt Jabsco. This came out many years before the third wave of ska from the U.S. made it such a dirty word. Long before your Reel Big Fishes and Goldfingers ruined everything, Madness, the Specials, The Selector and others took Jamaican ska and added some of punk's energy to classic results.
Highlights include Do Nothing, Ghost Town and 3 other Specials tracks, On My Radio by the Selecter, Rhoda Dakar's harrowing The Boiler and the complete lack of Bad Manners.
Geordie.
We have this available on LP. Contact Tym Guitars for more info.
