UK Ska Hits

Carry Go Bring Come - Justin Hines and the Dominoes Justin Hinds and the Domino's Jamaican smash Carry Go Bring Come mashed up sound systems in the UK way back in 1964 and may be the earliest song with a Rastafarian message. Hinds has recorded the song dozens of times and it is one of the foundation songs of ska.

Red Red Wine - Tony Tribe The original of Red Red Wine by Tony Tribe was played at a much faster tempo than the UB40 version. It was another UK ska hit that got a lot of play in UK dancehalls during the first wave of ska.

Pressure Drop - Toots and the Maytals Another early ska hit that folks in the UK are probably already familiar with. This version is a beautifully restored and resmatered version of the 1972 original single.
