My favourite ska sampler

"Almost every time I am dj-ing at private parties I put on "Big Bamboo" by Lord Creator, and keep getting questions from where the hell I always know such great music. Apart from this caribian pre-ska I have other favourites like Lee Perry's early "Doctor Dick" with the female background voices singing "uh uh, doctor, give me an injection", the muddled family relations of "Shame & Scandal" ("your daddy's not your daddy, but your daddy don't know"), a great ska version of "Bonanza", the title track, and so on. In listening to this anthology you can hear the raw power of this music from beginning to end. It's one of the best things you can say about a record that you still listen to it after years."
