I made myself a 500 track compilation of the absolute best of my Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae tunes, to play in the car...I thought why not split it down into 30 or so track podcasts...so that's what I've done. I'll put up many volumes over the next few weeks and there won't be a duff track on any of them, I promise. The majority will be from the great era of 1964 to 1969 though one or two 70's tracks will sneak in there somewhere. These should be a good listen so hope you enjoy them and look out for the upcoming volumes.
Oh and I also publish a blog which is totally dedicated to rare and interesting 45's from the 60's, it's called Lost Vinyl Gems Of The 60's (Northern Soul And Beyond) and you can find it here:
