Description:
A collection of rarities produced by three of the main originators
of Jamaican ska music: Carlos Malcolm, Ronnie Nasralla and Theo
Beckford. Jamaica's national sound emerged in the early 1960s
from shuffle, boogie, mento and blues beat. The New dance quickly
gained international fame through Dr. No, the first movie in the
James Bond series.
This LP compilation brings tribute to the founding fathers of ska
music. The gatefold cover and 4-page insert collect extensive liner
notes, personal stories and pictures from a timeless sound which
lives on to this day.
The 'Watermelon Man Ska' album is presented at the 60th Mega
Record & CD Fair in Den Bosch, The Netherlands in april 2025,
which is the world's largest record fair. The album is part of the
