All these selections are from records I purchased in 1979 and 1980 in London. A lot of tracks come from a Trojan six album set called Creation Rockers. The music stretches from ska in the early 60s through to reggae and dub from the 70s.
I still find it all as wonderfully vibrant as the first time I heard it.
Keep on skanking.

Wow.... What a great listen to kick off both a Friday and the month of June!
Been hanging out for this one. Great follow-up!
I love this stuff.
Awesome set! You must have one heck of a collection. That sample used by Big Youth floored me (it sounds familiar from THTC) and a little research turned up this:

I keep telling you I'm waiting for your memoirs...
