    Rock-A-Shacka presents the eagerly awaited third album from the vaults of the late, great Prince Buster.

    The album features 12 tracks spanning from Jamaican funk to rocksteady and early reggae. There are seven previously un-released/alternative tracks included on the album, the selection stays true to its title with a funky edge.

    Among the highlights is the original ’67 extended take of Prince Buster’s “A Tribute To The Toughest” aka "Ghost Dance" with Buster delivering a message and paying homage to his departed “rudeboy” friends….”Tell them, music is the food of love, so I forever sing on....baah tuff!”

    Also included are alternative takes of Buster's "Dark End of the Street" (a soul original by James Carr), Buster Allstars -"Come Get Me", Winston Samuels "I'm Still Here", a beautiful rock steady track with Larry Marshall on backing harmonies. You also have Buster covering songs from the likes of - James Brown "Bring It Up" (Clap Your Hand), Beginning Of The End "Funky Nassau" (Funky Jamaica), The Clovers "Don't You Know I Love You So".....Buster loved good songs when he heard them! Lee Perry makes an appearance with "Call On Me"....."so get my number - 6453708, just ask for the whup whop man!...". Prince Buster and Teddy Charmers also feature on the album with two previously un-released gems - "Got To Be Free" and "All My life" both recorded in '69. The great Gregory Isaacs one and only recording "Dancing Floor" is also included for your musical pleasure. Last but not least, "Black Soul" by Prince Buster Allstars from '69, a beautiful horns instrumental from the early reggae era!

    Prince Buster still remains one of the most iconic figure in Jamaican music and his music will forver live on.
