Best Ska track ever

[PFJ]

I loved The Beat. Everyone else seemed to be on Two Tone Records, except The Beat who were Go Feet?

They were originally on Two Tone with Tears of a Clown as were Madness with The Prince

 

[somerset]

The Maytals- 54-46 was my number
Toots & The Maytals - Pressure Drop
Harry J Allstars - Liquidator

Or slighty more recent

The specials - Dawning of a new Era
The Beat - Hands off she's mine
Bad manners - inner London violence

Anything by Toots.......good choices Soprano

 

[PFJ]

i think red laces was for the NF?

Superb choice

Thinking about this, what a great build up before games. 2.50pm gradual build up with Skinhead moonstomp, increasing tempo, then the players head onto the pitch.
