This Are Two Tone – Compilation

I didn’t really know Ska until uni when I went to the Crown and Anchor. I’d go upstairs and they would have a DJ later at night and all the ska punks would be up there. That's where I first heard ska and realised it wasn't madness ballads from the Huggies add. I'm ashamed to admit I didn't really learn the politics and history until much later, but better late than never.

I was wondering why I don’t pull this out out often and then it started. The powerful but incredibly confronting track by Rhoda Dakar about being raped. Vibe over.
