Im old enough for the revival in my teens and as soon as this started we'd run onto the dance floor in some little clubs in the backside of Birmingham, fabulous 👌

First Ska song I ever heard. It was 1964, it was brand new, I was 13. Took me ages to track it down. Found it in a tiny shop in Leytonstone, E. London and played it until I wore it out. Stayed my favourite for all time !!

My dad was a mod back in the 60s, he has all the bluebeat old vinyls. He passed away 2 weeks ago, 5 Feb 2023, he was 77, a legend in London. I have his records, he gave them to me since I am a punk and always loved ska. Rest i Peace Keith Beauchamp- Lait. You are a legend, Stained Glass Master. You will always be remembered ❤️

@keepingthefaith72 You are right ktf72. Bit of a giveaway as "Bluebeat" is the record label !!!!! hahahahahaha. These 'types' of music were not around at the same time, but were a progression of West Indian (mainly from JA) music from the early 60's until early 70's with the generic 'Reggae' which crossed over to pop. P.S. got this on my jukebox,,,,may have heard the 'B' side somewhere it's called :- "One Step Beyond" Del.

@@bjorntoulouse7523 ur actually both correct, ska was originally mislabeled as bluebeat in the uk which led to the naming of this label, but its the label name being mentioned in the title, they aren't saying the song is blue beat. However, ragga actually comes from Raggamuffin music which is in fact an original Jamaican cultural phenomenon from the mid to late 80's that was used to differentiate their rough-edged gritty electro-dancehall from the dulcet "digital dancehall" that preceded it. Although since the distinction isn't very clear out of context artists like Yellowman and Shabba Ranks could both just be considered Dancehall, whereas Shabba was really more of a distinctly raggamuffin artist, especially considering their heydays were a decade apart :) Some of my favorite early Ragga comps are Jamaican! They have some of the coolest cover art too
