Various - This Is Jamaica Ska: Presenting The Ska-Talites CD

Description:
Japanese import!
This is the iconic Ska compilation from Coxsone / Studio One including top tunes like The Wailer’s “Simmer Down” “How Many times (Do You Remember)” and Jackie Opel’s “Push Wood” “Sit Down Servant”released in 1964 - 65, when Ska was at its zenith.
Andy & Joey’s evergreen “You’re Wondering Now” has been famously covered by The Specials and the late Amy Winehouse.  “Wonder No More” was an earnest follow-up. The cover of Willie Mitchell’s “20-75” is replaced by brushed up  7 inch version. Don Drummond’s “Heaven & Erth” has been mis credited on original LP & reissues as “Roll On Sweet Don” but this is the right title.
