1.Save The World - Get The Girl by: The King Blues October 20, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.98 You Save: £6.01 (46%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.33
What an album this is. I would say it's a must for anyone who likes music and is an absolute, definite, no-brainer must-have for anyone dissatisfied with the world today. As another poster said, the King Blues combine a number of musical styles - I'd describe them as ska, reggae and punk with a bit of hip-hop and folk thrown in. The result is songs which instantly grab you musically and ram anthems into your head which don't escape for days. And then there are the lyrics. So passionately political, anti-war and anti-capitalist they are hard to beat and phenomenally uplifting for anyone who shares those views, such as myself. "Going to war to prevent war is the most stupid thing I've ever heard". That line should ... Read More:

2.You Just Can't Beat It: the Best of the Beat by: Beat February 04, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.98 You Save: £3.01 (38%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.99
They made 3 albums, 'I Just Can't Stop It', 'Wha'ppen' and 'Special Beat Service' and if you're an 'The (English) Beat' fan (like i am for years) this compilation does'nt ad anything to what you already own. I'm 56 and still bouncin' 'round!! (Ranking Fullstop)

3.The Specials by: Specials March 25, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.47 You Save: £3.52 (39%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.21
This is my favourite of the 2 Specials albums. 'More Specials' is quirkier, but this is equally fun and more up-tempo. I love to leap around to this record at every oportunity, (much to the annoyance of my neighbours). I could wiffle on about all of the profound lyrics and such and Terry Hall's deadpan style, but once you buy this record then you will find out for yourself. Suffice to say that this record is well worth getting for your collection. If you like that 2 tone sound, then it really doesn't get any better than this. And at this price it is a steal!!!!

4.Best of Ska by: Various Artists October 22, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £11.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.98 You Save: £7.01 (58%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.22
This is a top ska collection, it contains plenty of classics including a few from the godfathers of SKA music, The Specials. Defenite stand out tracks are Rat Race, Rudy, a message to you and Ghosttown. Its cheap and you get over 50 tracks to chose from, there has to be some you like in that lot!

5.The Specials Singles: the Best of the Specials by: The Specials August 27, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.98 You Save: £4.01 (45%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.77
The Specials Singles is just that containing at least the a-sides of the 45's of one the greatest bands of all time. Opening with one of the strongest debut single of all time `Gangsters' it moves through double `a' side `Rudi, a Message to You' and `Nite Klub' to the first side of there live EP `Too Much Too Young' and the Skatalite inspired `Guns of Navarone'. Stand alone single `Rat Race' is next before we move into less comfortable territory with double `a' `Stereotype' b/w `International Jet Set' and then `Do Nothing'. The magnificent `Ghost Town' is next together with both of its equally good b-sides `Why?' and `Friday Night, Saturday Morning'. The quality drops as Terry Hall, Neville Staples and Lynval Golding leave to ... Read More:

6.The Best Of by: The Specials March 31, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.98 You Save: £5.01 (33%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.03
Comprising an excellent greatest hits collection with a dvd of live performances and promo videos, this compilation is essential. Unless you're a big fan or completist this package contains everything you could want from The Specials' enduring legacy. Much of their music still sounds vital and contemporary. Along with The Beat's recent 2 cd compilation, You Just Can't Beat It (and maybe The Selecter's greatest hits), you have a capsule history of the late 70s/early 80s ska revival. Recommended.

7.20 Massive Hits by: Toots and the Maytals March 13, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.98 You Save: £3.01 (43%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.50
I'm not one for writing reviews but seeing as no-one has bothered to write a review for this Toots & The Maytals CD, I thought I may as well be the first. If your knowledge of reggae goes as far as Bob Marley, and that's it, then you seriously need to broaden your tastes, and as a starter I highly recommend Toots. This CD covers The Maytals career from 1966 to 1974 and all the hits are here - Monkey Man (later covered by The Specials), their brilliant debut single Bam Bam, 54-46 That's My Number and probably their most famous song Pressure Drop (later covered by The Clash). There's 20 songs on this album and I can honestly say there simply isn't a bad song on here, this album played through from start to finish sounds fantastic. ... Read More:

8.And This Is A SKA Explosion by: Various Artists March 19, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.97 You Save: £2.02 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.96
I couldn't give this five stars, because there are a few dud tracks on there. But at the price it is well worth the money, because there are loads of great tunes. In fact it is worth the cash just to get a copy of 'Rukumbine'. There is a groovy ska version of the James Bond theme, and a couple of minor key instrumental grooves that really get you dancing. Also 'A little oil in my lamp' is a great singalong ska version of a traditional song, with a gospel feel to it. I don't know why they chose to start the CD with the Prince Buster tune which is more of a reggae style and not like the rest at all (although it's not a bad tune).

9.GNV FLA by: Less Than Jake June 23, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £13.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.98 You Save: £5.01 (36%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.99
Less Than Jake are a band that just keep getting better as they go on with each record, and i cant say that this band have a single fault. This Album starts off with the brilliant City of Gainesville and then blends in brilliantly to the The State Of Florida, and from then on the album keeps up the tempo and doesnt lose the fun through out. A brillaint band with yet another outstanding album.

10.And Out Come the Wolves by: Rancid May 09, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.98 You Save: £5.01 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.44
I swear you will not find a better summery album anywhere. Put this mix of punk and ska on and you can feel the sun shining even in the middle of winter. Please don't be put off by the fact that the band are called Rancid, even if you are not into 'punk' this album is amazing musically (especially the bass playing). This album has to be one of the best i've ever heard, so do yourself a favour and buy it.
