I'm just dumping everything into one folder. I hope it works better that way for me and for you.
MEGA did give me a bit of trouble when I tried sharing the whole folder and it said only I have access to it unless I pay for the ability to link. But I just copied the URL and attached it to the link here.
If you are not able to access my folder please let me know and I will tediously link to each and every file.
But - if this link takes you to the whole folder - please let me know so I'm not left wondering what's going on.
Muchas gracias in advance.

If you're looking for a copy of this tape then HERE's the eBay listing.
If you want to hear it first then this download is for my rip of the tape I used to own.

The last two songs are live versions of songs that were on the 1995 album "Which One of Us is Me?".
I have all of their albums but last I checked this tape is rare but their other releases are readily available online. If you can't find them anywhere else, let me know and I'll rip them and make a post.
I still plan on uploading everything that was requested as a re-up. I'm way behind schedule but I will get around to it. Bear with me. Thy will shall be done.
They performed with Neville Staples and The Selecter and had offers to open for Bad Manners, The Beat, and The Skatalites. They might have actually opened for those bands but there's little to go on to know for sure.
The band played a mix of covers and originals. This 4-track recording demonstrates a bit of both.
The band was (in order on the photo):
Lee Shepherd - guitar
Steve Thorne - vocals
Giles Isaac - bass
Mark Robinson - drums
and the band even played with trumpet player Major Chris Willis from the band Too Hot but this recording has no horns.
This incredible post is thanks to Rikard who recently sent this to me. I haven't posted anything in the last couple of weeks due to an excessive work schedule but this was so good I had to find time to get back to the blog for a few minutes.
Thank you Rikard!

I don't know the story behind this one. The words on the record say that this is from a soon-to-be-released album. Was it every released? Who knows? A quick Google search offers no answers.
Eddy Grant was involved with this project and it just really misses the mark for me. It insists that it is Two Tone but it's just not.
A - Twotonin'
B - Twotone Rappin'*
* Neither Two Tone nor rap in the same way that Grape Nuts cereal is neither grapes nor nuts.
This band from Spokane, Washington is still active to this day. They play a blend of ska, reggae, and a bit of that Motown sound.
I think this is their first demo tape and I think it's from 1993. Don't quote me on that.
They are primarily a reggae band but this tape has two ska songs: "Reggae Snowman" and "Lay Down Your Gun" and I have found some more of their music online and they do have at least a couple other ska songs that I know of like "Refugees of Babylon" which is on their ReverbNation page.
"Lay Down Your Gun" surprisingly pays homage to Bigger Thomas and the song "Ska in My Pocket".

They hand made this tape for their fans and they sold it at their last show.
I was holding off on posting this because I wanted to include both of their singles and a live tape which includes a compilation track (which is not ska) but I didn't have time today to work on a post so I just decided to put this out. It's very rare but a little hard to listen to because of the sound quality. The other stuff I have by them is even more rare but even more hard to listen to. I will post the other stuff at a later date. Sorry for the inconvenience.
