Advantages: Quality music Disadvantages: Too many similar sounding tracks
Symarip's Skinhead Moonstomp is a nice little compilation of Symarip's best songs. The all black ska and reggae band from the UK, were one keen to recognise their early and loyal followers, the skinheads and released plenty of tracks dedicated to them: Skinhead Moonsomp, Skinhead Jamboree, Skinhead Girl for instance.
Skinhead Moonstomp starts off the album with
I want all you skinheads to get up on your feet
Put your braces together and your boots on your feet
And give me some of that old moonstomping
and dates back to a time when black ska and white skinheads went hand in hand. This may not be the best skinhead reggae album but it's certainly a very good recording and one with plenty of hits on it, featuring lots of tracks that would later be covered by bands like The Specials. The sound does sound a bit dated and basic but ...
Advantages: great fun Disadvantages: avoid 3pm to 5pm
bright sun with the temperature around 30°C. A WHITE minibus approaches, then another, and another! Invitations are issued to climb aboard. But what did the rep have to say? Dire warnings as we recalled?.about safety, speed, overcrowding et alia. We boarded the fourth bus! What an experience!
These are the 'reggae (mini) buses'! Otherwise known as ZR's (license plate letters!) the buses are WHITE some with a maroon stripe down the side. It transpired we were on Route 11. There were loads of them about ? the service was more frequent, more regular, and ran later at night.
Any trip on a reggae bus is nothing if not memorable. Our driver was an extremely relaxed fellow, smoking a thin cigarette throughout, sporting beard, dreadlocks, and a colourful knitted wooly rasta hat. Our fellow passengers, all locals, generated a great atmosphere ...

Advantages: Pressure Drop Disadvantages: 3 Songs with ghastly 80's production
I love Reggae but thankfully for you I am not as obsessive about it as I am about other forms of music, ok maybe I am but then I am more subdued about it. I spied this collection in my local HMV for £5-99 and it somehow slipped into my pocket, good thing too cause it has got two of my all time favorite songs on it "Reggae Got Soul" and Pressure Drop. This CD is part of Islands Reggae Greats series rather obviously from the Title isn?t it and has 12 chunks of chilled out Reggae by Toots and the Maytals on it.
Kicking off with "54-46 That?s My Number" a rocksteady number for 1968 based upon Toots time in prison, then moving onto "Reggae Got Soul" it moves into a nice steady relaxed reggae grove and I am happily skanking away on my seat here. "Monkey Man" ups the tempo and I am chanting "Aye Aye Aye" hey I'm Scottish and we are ...
