23min of Ska

Back, once again, is an episode of some fine ska from the original source. I know I usually play more modern ska on this podcast, but sometimes I think we need to hear the roots of the sound we love so much. This stuff is so good! I always vow to play more of it, but I don’t always get the chance, so here it is, and I hope you enjoy it. Note: the last three songs on here are all in contention for being “the first ska song” and they all came out and or were recorded around the same time, listen and decide for yourself! 00:00 – Laurel Aitken – Boogie in My Bones (Boogie in My Bones / Little Sheila ’60) 02:41 – Lloyd Terrel – Bang Bang Lulu (Bang Bang Lulu / I Never Knew ’68) 05:42 – the Paragons – Silver Bird (So Close to You / Silver Bird ’68) 08:23 – Roy Richards & the Soul Vendors – Summertime (Give Me a Little More Time / Summertime ’68) 11:38 – Max Romeo – Wet Dream (a Dream with Max Romeo ’69) 14:24 – Theophilus Beckford with Clue J and His Blues Blasters – Easy Snapping (Easy Snapping / Proof Rum ’59) 17:10 – the Folkes Brothers – Oh Carolina (Oh Carolina / I Met a Man ’60) 19:50 – the Blues Blasters – Pine Juice (Pine Juice / Little Willie ’60) Find & like us on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/23minofSka This episode and all episodes back to the start in 2010 are available at http://www.23Ska.com There's a lot of great ska vinyl out there, so head over to our partners in crime at http://www.GrandpasCasino.com and pick up some great sounds!
