Ska was one of my first music loves. My cousin and I would play The Specials debut album to death while he attempted to teach me how to dance. The first Madness album was the first cassette I owned (to go with my first walkman). Add The Beat and I could fill a whole mixtape and be completely happy. For this mixtape I decided to limit those bands to 3 tracks each, and force myself to dive a little deeper into my collection. I've ended up with a 50/50 split of Two Tone and Trojan records classics with a bit of Bob thrown in that I'm very happy with. Oh, and the little kid in me is delighted I found the Hot Shots version of Snoopy vs The Red Baron.
