This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.

Most of these dozen tracks are really more rocksteady than actual ska, but the music is great either way, with classic sides like the Ethiopians' "Train to Skaville," Toots & the Maytals' "Broadway Jungle," Desmond Dekker's "007 (Shanty Town)," Justin Hinds' "Carry Go Bring Come" and the immortal Skatalites' "Guns of Navarone." The disc comes with an enhanced CD-R track. Serious fans of Jamaican music will already have all of these selections, but this brief sets makes a nice introduction to an era when ska was giving way to rocksteady and things were starting to build toward true reggae. ~ Steve Leggett
