Lee Harvey Skaswald - Dance Lessons 7" (1997)

 This is the only release from this band from Ohio. My copy looks absolutely beautiful but it sounds terrible. I've been meaning to get another copy but none are available. This is what I have. Enjoy! (You won't be able to. The music is good but the sound quality sucks.)

va Ni Jah Ni Maitre (1994)

 This is a compilation of ska and anarcho-reggae bands from France. I think the best tracks come from the most familiar names. I guess they're notable for a reason.

 The title of this comp is "No Gods No Masters" replacing "Jah" for "God". The phrase comes from the French author Daniel Guérin back when leftism was about anarchy and opposing government and corporatism. Unlike today when liberalism is all about abiding by what corporate television and corporate businesses like the big pharma companies tell you to do. The exact opposite of what it used to be.

The Repeaters [Sweden]

 This is a laid back ska/reggae band from Sweden.

* I tried to normalize the sound so that all tracks have the same volume but the 4 songs from the first self-titled 7" play at a really low volume. If I adjust them to match the volume of the other tracks they sound horrible so I left them at the volume they were released in.
