Easy skankin!! - By: Mr. N. Molyneux, 10 May 2008 
I couldn't give this five stars, because there are a few dud tracks on there. But at the price it is well worth the money, because there are loads of great tunes. In fact it is worth the cash just to get a copy of 'Rukumbine'. There is a groovy ska version of the James Bond theme, & a couple of minor key instrumental grooves that reallly get you dancing. Also 'A little oil in my lamp' is a great singalong ska version of a traditional song, with a gospel feel to it.
I don't know why they chose to start the CD with the Prince Buster tune which is more of a reggae style & not like the rest at alll (although it's not a bad tune).
you'll wear it out - By: Andrew W. Allen, 02 May 2004 If you need a starting point to get into Jamaican ska (as oposed to its British counsin), then this is the one to go for. Twenty tracks, a good variety of artists, a mixture of vocal & instrumental, & no instantly forgetable sub-R&B fillers from Yellowman & the like. If you're only an occasional ska listener, then this would be the only record you'll need. If you need a starting point for a new section in your CD collection, this is equallly good.

If You Only Own One Ska CD - Make It This One! - By: , 11 Sep 2002 The best single-disc ska compilation I've come across. Ska was always a hit & miss musical form, but this is like the best of alll the other compilations. Among a whole series of stand-outs, Keith & Ken's "I Won't Let You Go" & Baba Brooks' "Girls Town Ska" are quite irreplacable. Non-stop dance rhythms. If you're wondering where/whether to get into ska, ignore the box sets (for the moment) & start here.
Absolutely skankingly fantastic - By: , 29 Jun 2001 Bought this after hearing Mark Lamarr play some of the original SKA, this album is absolutley brilliant, & I would recommend to everybody who is into SKA, original Jamaican sounds boom through the stereo, & you feet start to move...
