# I'm guessing these tracks are not in order of how they were played. At the end of the first track Spy Version he says "Thank you! Good night!" like it was the end of the show. I didn't re-arrange anything, I left it as it is on the tape.
*The song King Darry's Rude Boy Rap flows directly into the song Wicked. I tried separating them but without any real line of demarcation it sounded terrible so I left it as one single track. There are ten songs on this tape but you'll see only nine in the download.
Male and female vocals sung in English and French.

The difference is that this one includes all 4 songs from their 1994 demo tape "May I be Excused" which was just shared with me today by Marcel who does the Punk Guy YouTube channel. If you are not already subscribed to his channel you are remiss in your duties as a collector of this type of music. It is primarily punk but there is a lot of ska, and I mean a LOT of ska, as well as indie, garage, a little bit of funk, and, really, just about everything.
Here's his channel. Do yourself a favor if you haven't already.

I did get a request for The Tigers - Savage Music which I am not allowed to re-post so whoever made that request shoot me an email at toneandwave@gmail.com and we'll take it from there.
In order to make room in my MEGA account for all the re-uploads and all of the new stuff I have to delete a lot of the older things. The oldest year that is still available is 2021 so go through my posts from that year and download everything you need because a few weeks from now the links will all be dead.
For now 2022 and later will still be active so no need to rush on those years.

One of the things I'm working on right now is a tape from the band The Plugs which I'm not entirely happy with the quality of it so I'm not ready to post it just yet. And I have a live tape which is not on Discogs.
Here's the best song on that tape. There is some sitar in the beginning which is edited out but when I post the full tape on the blog it will be the full version with the sitar.

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.

It seems that there was a reggae band in Cleveland, Ohio in the 80s called Kaya. I know nothing about this band and I can't find anything online about them. But I do know their lead singer Max Nuhu went solo and released one record in 1987. The song "Let Me Be the One" was the A-Side and "Give It Up" was on the B-side. It is highly sought after and I have never found a copy in my life. Thankfully somebody posted the A-side on YouTube.
He even had T-shirts.
Here's the full "War Games" demo tape by Max Nu-Hu with the re-recorded version of "Let Me be the One" from the record and a re-recorded version of the song "War Games" that would have been the title track of the album if he ever released an album, plus another song he recorded later called "Third World Woman".
Max Nuhu passed away in Jamaica in December 2020.
