Recently I listened to the Specials self-titled 1979 album and really enjoyed it. I’ve been wanting to try out some Ska music for awhile now because it’s a genre I don’t know a whole lot about. What recommendations do you guys have as far as Ska music?

    Trojan Box Sets are great compilations that give an all over taste. Some you may have to search for but I had an excellent one which I might be able to get the Google drive link for later

      I had a GREAT Trojan box some years ago. A triple CD that covered from the '60 to the '80s. Some absolutely PROPER tunes on it.

        You can’t really go wrong with any of them, they’ve pretty much got everything covered. There’s some of their catalogue on streaming and YouTube etc but I’m sure I remember having more on CD.

        The one I’m thinking of is Ska revival but all I can find is someone’s put Disc 3 on YouTube. I’m pretty sure it’s one of the one I backed up when I had to clear out my physical media though it was that good
