One of the foundational figures and stylistic architects of the ska sound, Laurel Aitken was and remains a legend of Jamaican music. His career would continue well beyond the end of the ska period, but it’s early songs like “Fire in My Wire” and “Landlords and Tenants” that built his reputation. This generous collection begins with Aitken’s pre-ska R&B recordings and then follows his progression through ska and into the rock steady era.
