Before they became The Specials this was the music earning them kudos up and down the country. It's interesting to hear early incarnations of their more famous tunes but it stands up in it's own right too.

It's like Ska has grown back up again and recalling it's origins and ditching the heavy guitars. Very respectable.

Soul hit the Jamacian scene in the 60's and this album is from one of the finest bands around at the time. It is basically a damn good Soul album with a very gentle Ska swagger.
