This stuff is all great, there's such a wonderful sound to all these Jamaican records of the era, before everything has been properly formulated, pigeonholed and polished. Reggae became soooo boring once it became standardised and professional.

Aren't most of these selections, fine as they are, actually Ska? Reggae, which is different - although the various explanations of the distinction involve things like upstrokes, beats and accents that I simply don't understand - started in the late sixties, around 1968 or so.

Just about everything Ernest Ranglin did is worth checking out.

This is a great book if you like ska and early reggae. The authors delve into it as much as the '70s stuff and dancehall. I've gone through two editions.

The Viceroys are my favorite vocal group. They don't get enough love if you ask me. They stepped from '60s reggae to JA inspired stuff pretty effortlessly.
