Coxsone/Studio One's flagship Ska compilation. Andy & Joey's "WONDER NO MORE" is a sequel to the eternal Ska classic "YOU'RE WONDERING NOW" covered by The Specials and Amy Winehouse. WILLIE MITCHEL's cover "20-75" is replaced from the original LP version to the 7-inch version with a higher degree of perfection. Don Drummond's "HEAVEN & EARTH" was miscredited as "ROLL ON SWEET DON" on both the original LP and reissue, but this is the official title. 4 rare ska tracks by Blue Beats, Gaylads and Skatalites, recorded around the same time, are added on the CD.
