The History Of Ska: Don't Call Me Ska Face (3 CD)

This triple CD serves as a useful introduction to the world of ska music. It kicks off in fine style with the grandaddy of the genre, Desmond Dekker, who serves up 10 good reasons why this budget priced CD is worth buying, including top track like Rudi Got Soul. He was at the forefront of the ska movement and showed the way. Then mad world of Bad Manners and included here tracks which you'll find irresistible. The second CD is where the compilation slackens it's hold. Special Beat the finest band of the two tone movement, combining ska rhythms with cracking tunes.  All in all a worthy effort, great value of this 3 CD complication.
