The more I think about it, the more sure I am, this is peak Ska.

    Well yeah, the second wave made ska into what we know today. Originally it was rather tame by modern standards.

    However, I'd say that Madness might give the Selecter a run for the money.

    Mind Blown! I never made the connection from Millie Small to Ska. I guess Prince Buster would have been a contemporary though.

    Thanks for sharing and starting my day on a ska kick!
