King of Ska

Released

A towering figure of early Ska, Prince Buster was exposed to music as a young man when he became attached to Clement “Coxsone” Dodd’s sound system; he worked security for him and also began selecting records for the dances. Eventually he began singing and was an architect of the early ska sound, influencing generations of ska musicians. This is a fine collection of his 1960s recordings including “Madness” and “Ska Town.”
