Our Take

Ah, strap on your best dress and get ready to dance, because the "Put On Your Best Dress" compilation is here to take you on a groovy ride back to the ska and rocksteady sounds of 1966-1967. Curated by the legendary Sonia Pottinger, this expanded edition is like a musical time machine, transporting you to a time when the bass was thumping, the horns were blaring, and the vibes were irie.

From start to finish, this album is a treasure trove of toe-tapping tunes that will have you skanking around your living room in no time. Tracks like "Feel Like Jumping" by Marcia Griffiths and "Take Five" by The Cordells are guaranteed to get your hips swaying and your feet moving. And let's not forget about the soulful crooning of Alton Ellis on songs like "I Am Still in Love" and "Willow Tree."

But what really sets this compilation apart is the attention to detail in the production. The crisp, clean sound quality and the meticulous curation of the tracklist make each song feel like a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered. Whether you're a die-hard ska fan or just looking to add some retro flair to your music collection, "Put On Your Best Dress" is a must-listen.

So grab your dancing shoes, pour yourself a stiff drink, and let the sounds of Sonia Pottinger's ska and rocksteady classics wash over you. Trust me, you won't be able to resist the infectious grooves of this timeless album. Cheers to that, mate!
