Our Take

Ah, ska music - the genre that never fails to get your feet tapping and your body skanking. The compilation album "Ska From The Vaults Of" is a delightful collection of ska classics that will transport you straight to the vibrant and energetic world of 1960s Jamaica.

From the infectious horns of The Skatalites to the smooth vocals of Toots and the Maytals, this album is a must-listen for any fan of the genre. Each track is a gem in its own right, showcasing the diversity and talent of the ska scene.

Highlights include The Specials' timeless anthem "Ghost Town", which perfectly captures the ennui and frustration of post-industrial Britain, and Desmond Dekker's infectious "007 (Shanty Town)", guaranteed to get even the most reluctant dancer grooving.

While some may argue that ska is a genre stuck in the past, this album proves that its influence is still felt in contemporary music. The upbeat rhythms and catchy melodies are a perfect antidote to the monotony of everyday life.

So grab your pork pie hat and your dancing shoes, and let "Ska From The Vaults Of" transport you to a world of good vibes and great music. Who knew that a genre born out of social and political unrest could bring so much joy? Pure ska magic, my friends.
