It's rare that I can listen to a ska compilation all the way through without having to skip a track but this is one of those rarities. There are only nine songs here. There could have been 20 but then we might have had to skip a few. This way there is only the best songs from great bands with no filler.
In my opinion the song by Zwit is the top track.
Zwit has been playing since 1984 but it's really hard to find their music anywhere. I have a small collection of songs by them, most of which are live. If this band ever did any studio recordings please let me know. I would love to hear more of them.
1 Stenchtown - Sail On
2 Ska-D-Lite - Skaramanga
3 Skapiche?! - Ska D-H-D
4 De Groeten van Henk en Bep - Lone Ranger
5 Ollie Q. & The Deep Six - Waking Up Dead
6 Splendid - Straight Up
7 2nd Hand Sneakers - One Night Stand
8 Zwit - Lock You Up
9 Mensergerjen!et - Laat Maar

Thank you very much, also for including scans of the linernotes & artwork. Despite being Dutch, all these bands were unknown to me...
Thank you for this! Zwit was a 100% live band if I remember correct. In some interview long ago I read that they recorded more than 50 tracks, but only performed live (in Benelux and Germany mostly) up to mid 90s and after reunion in early 2000s.
Gracias
