The truly iconic compilation from 1965, when ska was in its full, irrepressible, post-colonial glory.

Cool Down Your Temper, followed by Jah Jah The Conqueror… murders she wrote. The Agrovators in the place, with Augustus Pablo; Bunny Lee at the desk; two killer Tubbys dubs to close out the sides.

A deadly, zonked Soul Syndicate excursion on Westbound Train, with Keith Hudson as the Fat Controller. Introducing a young LT — his first recording, he says — stylistically indebted to Dennis Brown.

Orange vinyl.

The reissue of Steve Barrow’s brilliant, powerhouse selection for Blood And Fire.

Celebrated dubplate version of DEB’s Promised Land; and Earl 16 on Trial And Crosses.

Superb roots, tough dub. A dilly from Tilly. Larry nuh tarry.

Donovan Joseph leading this clattering, infectious 1994 do-over of the group’s late-eighties hit, calling all bus-drivers.

Including a disinterment of his great song Burial.
‘What a big disgrace, the way you rob up the place… everything you can find, you even rob the blind. Now we know the truth… taking people’s business on your head, might as well you be dead.’
The second LP contains the dubs.
