Randall Growing up during the heyday of skapunk I’ve had a long standing aversion to anything with an up stroke. A few years ago I got the Ethiopians- Engine 54 album and really loved it but never bothered to dig any deeper. With spring quickly approaching and slightly warmer and sunnier weather coming our way the last few days I’ve been listening to a lot of Prince Buster and it’s really hitting the spot. As a total noob when it comes to ska/ rocksteady send some recs my way
Al Dorado can't go wrong with the Uniques and anything Slim Smith. The Techniques. See the Trojan Tighen Up comps. Pressure Sounds comps are great too. Desmond Dekker, Derrick Morgan, these songs should be familiar
Skip Bail Not sure if this would be considered "ska" or not, but the Trojan "Work Your Soul" compilation is incredible
