Recommendations for ska and reggae

[fiveamp]

Thumbs up for Don Letts. LoversrockRadio (UK) on the internet is pretty good too. I'd be interested in what the purists think the differences are between Ska, Roots, Dub, and Reggae, though. I like it all but they are definately not the same.

You missed out Bluebeat and Rocksteady!

But yep.. not always easy to tell what's what.

And Lovers,Riddim.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I ordered 3 x trojan double albums (roots, reggae and boss reggae) as a starter.

The Lee Thompson Ska Orchestra have released a couple of good albums. They’re a great fun band live too.

The Clash did some fantastic Ska/Reggae covers and don't forget the 1st albums by The Beat and The Specials amongst others from the Two Tone era.

Hello Neil. Not sure if this is the sort of thing you're looking for but this is excellent.

Having noted "Arkology", it looks a bit toppish at £30, anyone want to sell their CDs at a reasonable price?

Possibly better in the Classifieds but this may be more targeted. Ta,
