Our Take
From the moment you hit play on "Blue Beat Explosion," it's like stepping into a time machine and getting transported straight to the swinging '60s. This compilation album is a treasure trove of classic ska and rocksteady tracks from some of the biggest names in the genre, as well as some hidden gems that will have you skanking all night long. The album kicks off with the infectious energy of The Skatalites' "Guns of Navarone," setting the tone for what's to come. As you make your way through hits from Desmond Dekker, Laurel Aitken, and The Maytals, you can't help but feel the irresistible urge to bust out your best moonwalk and skank your heart out. But it's not just the familiar tunes that make this album a must-listen. The deep cuts and rarities sprinkled throughout give an insight into the richness and diversity of the ska and rocksteady scene during its heyday. From the soulful crooning of Alton Ellis to the raw energy of Prince Buster, each track is a gem waiting to be discovered. So next time you're in need of a lil' pick-me-up, just pop on "Blue Beat Explosion" and let the infectious rhythms and soulful melodies wash over you. Trust me, you'll be glad you did.
