| Beginner’s Guide To Ska charts the progress of ska from it’s 1960s hey-day to the present and includes many worldwide hits and club anthems. Unlike most ska and early reggae compilations which usually stick to material from one label or producer Beginner’s Guide to Ska includes tracks from three of Jamaica’s leading labels: Treasure Isle, Randy’s & King Edwards, as well as the diverse latter day material on CD3. The compilation includes a finely balanced blend of both classic and rare tracks, including several available on cd for the first time. |
