There was a good US ska band? I'll look for the mentioned groups.
As I work (an occasional lapse), I recycle through my hundreds of tapes
of stuff collected over the years. By coincidience, I just reached one
with ska. It's the "Dance Craze-Best of British Ska...Live" comp with The
Specials, The English Beat, Bad Manners, The Special A.K.A., The
Selector, and The Body Snatchers. Check it out. (Same tape has Bob
Marley's "Talkin' Blues"--blast from the past.)
