This review is from: Ska Island (Audio CD)

The mixture of artists in this album really sets this CD apart from other compilatons. Prince Buster, Laurel Aitken, Japan's The Determinations & The Ska Flames, Rico Rodriguez... plus the new ska artists such as Ocean 11, Fishbone, The Toasters. First wave meets third wave! Really worth listening to, mon...

By far one of the best Ska comps I've heard. Some of the standout tracks for me were Dr. Ring Ding's "Shame & Scandal", Hepcat's cover of Eric Morris' original track "Penny Reel" and the classic "King of Kings" by Prince Buster. Highly Recommended. A++
