Spicy dub rhythms from African Head Charge, Keith Hudson, Scientist, and more…
Maybe some classic James Ferraro when i’m feeling freaky
Some good ol’ heartaching girl group fun from The Supremes and The Paris Sisters

“Leonard Cohen’s first 3 albums”
"Some good ol’ heartaching girl group fun from The Supremes and The Paris Sisters"
I’ll have to look into those

Trojan Presents: Ska is a great album for summer. It’s just a big compilation of caribbean tunes from the mid 20th century

A particular favorite is track 14, Shanty Town
