A colection of rarities produced by three of the main originators of Jamaican ska music: Carlos Malcolm, Ronnie Nasralla
and Theo Beckford. Jamaica's national sound emerged in the early 1960s from shuffle, boogie, mento and blues beat. The
New dance quickly gained international fame through Dr. No, the first movie in the James Bond series. This LP
compilation brings tribute to the founding fathers of ska music. The gatefold cover and 4-page insert collect extensive
liner notes, personal stories and pictures from a timeless sound which lives on to this day.
