[melia]

I feel like skanking but my collection is bare. What do you recommend?

[Ostrich Man]

The Skatellites.......start there and you cant go wrong.

[Mike]

i love the beat by the way, just can't stop it is such a great album

A good starting point would be the Trojan Ska Box Set which you should be able to get at any decent record shop. About fifteen quid for four CDs as well.

 

exactly what I was going to suggest, you can't go wrong with the Trojan compilations.

I can't see a 4-disc version. There's a 3-discer on Sanctuary with an orange cover (50 tracks), and a 2-discer with 38 tracks in a kind of lime green. The latter is on amazon for under a tenner, the former only from the US or second hand for not much more

 

Do you have a catalogue number for the 4 disc version?

[melia]

thanks for the suggestions everyone. I shall sample via soulseek before buying.

Col, you have to burn them onto a CD and put them in a an envelope with a few 50 pound notes. Should make sure that I get them.

 

I'll give you a bell at the weekend and talk you through putting them on my server.

Yep, that's the one. I saw them at a festival 1980ish but all I can remember is the tongue and that one tune. But they pretended to be a 'ska' band...
