Episode 1 - This is a Scorcher!

Welcome, to the first of many episodes chock full of Ska Reggae and Rocksteady. The main focus will be the original JA songs from the 1963-1974 period, but you'll find a few modern artists tossed in just to mix it up. All ripped from my collection of 45's, so sometimes you'll have to put up with some clicks, crackles, and pops.

Hope you enjoy!
