The No.1 Ska Album

Search: Lip Up Fatty - Bad Manners (1)
by: Various Artists

Release Date March 10, 1997
My first experience of this type of music was back in the two tone days of Madness, Specials, Beat, Selecter, Bad Manners and Bodysnatchers. At the time I was simply blown away with the sheer energy and passion the music created. There was also a terrific dress code to accompany this new style. Two-Tone was born. Its now a household name for those years, but meekly began as a low budget record label by Jerry Dammers ( keyboard player with The Specials). Many of the songs were in fact covers of earlier "reggae/ska/rocksteady" tunes from the 60s and early 70s.

100 Hits - 80s

Release Date November 24, 2008
I can't believe the reviewer (Debbie) who says she didn't know most of these tracks! If she was there in the 1980s, she must have had ear plugs in and a paper bag over her head! This album is a great compilation at a bargain price - fantastic for listening to in the car, or quizzing your mates (who was that?), or demonstrating your vast knowledge of 1980s pop trivia. For the discerning listener, this series of albums prompts wider research into some of these artists - the excellent Blancmange, for example, and whatever happened to Kon Kan?
At less than £1 per disc, this is amazing value. For those who weren't there it provides a pretty good overview of what was happening in that decade.

Ska'd for Life

Release Date May 10, 1999
Although this collection may strike you as incredibly cheap, be warned that some of the songs are featured TWICE (or more!). That said, this is a cool collection of trad ska with some awesome tracks and it is worth a listen. It is interesting to compare the slower reggae sound of these tracks to todays "Third-wave" ska bands with their rock influences.
