Slice of pure ska heaven

"The perfect antidote to the idea that the whitened, insipid, post-Two-Tone dreck masquerading as "ska" nowadays is even close to being worthy of the name. This is the pure sound of early 60's Jamaica - it swings, it captivates, and most of all it conveys real feeling. Genuine ska is among the most uplifting of musical forms and here it is purveyed by the masters such as Justin Hines, The Maytals and, of course, the *only* ska band worthy of the name : The Skatalites.Buy it."
