Here's an hours worth of classic ska, from the likes of The Skatalites, Alton Ellis, Eric Morris, The Clarendonians, Desmond Dekker, Jackie Opel, The Wailers and many more. All tracks are taken from original 60's vinyl releases so please excuse the surface noise on many tracks. Let's just say it adds to the authenticity!
