Red Hot Ska - The Story Of Jamaican Music Part 3

[Pete S]

This is part one of a two part episode containing the very best Ska music from it's true golden period. Most of these tracks come from 1965 - a few are from 1964 and 1966, and The Wailers "Simmer Down" was supposedly recorded in December 63 but it sounds just like a 'fast ska' recording from 1965, hence it's inclusion here, but it's mainly recordings from Ska's greatest year. In part two we'll see how a different, unique offshoot of the Ska developed - "Rude Boy" music. Meanwhile, enjoy these belters!
