These two epic ska albums were released within one week of each other - in 1979. The author of this piece obviously did not do much research by implying that ska began in the 1990s. Must be a young kid.

I can’t seem to appreciate this music.I’ve heard better noise when my truck had a flat tire at 70mph.

The English Beat - Wha’ppen.
Still one of my favorite albums. Reminds me of sitting on the beach at Fort Walton watching the girls walk by in the 80s.

Ska from down under, The Melbourne Ska Orchestra:

https://youtu.be/CVyJkKKfRFs

In the early ‘90, with my three-year old son on my shoulders, I stumbled into an outdoor English Beat concert held by George Washington University, no tickets, no gates, just a small quadrangle off of 22nd St. I wonder if my little man even remembers.

This came out about the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Very appropriate.
