The Beat Moves The Feet, But Please Listen And Learn.......2006-12-19

Ska has broken down so many social barriers through great rhythms coupled with lyrics that oftentimes gave a worldly view to the political frustrations in the crowded city streets.

This collection is four disks with 64 tracks and clocks in at a whopping 210 minutes, with music from the 1960s to the 1980s. The fourth CD is live performances by a variety of artists, including the Big 5, International Beat, Special Beat and one of my favorites - The Selecter.

It is difficult to get a grasp on the historical - and continuing - impact of ska due to many bands during this time period being recorded on small labels, which has made it virtually impossible to find some material on CD's.

At the list price and for its comprehensiveness, Ska Wars is a great beginning for those who want to groove to the beat for the first time or for fans looking to make a wise purchase for their collection.

A large quantity of quality ska........2004-06-01

This really is a great deal. It's 4 16-track discs of killer ska from some classic bands, and at a good price. This is the real deal too, it's not what passes for ska today (Reel Big Fish), but the good stuff from the 70's and 80's. It's the best collection I've seen since the "Max The Dog Says, Do The Ska" album. If you're into groups like "Judge Dread", "The Hotknives", "The Riffs", "Natural Rhythm", and "Bad Manners", then this set was made for you. Also, one of the discs is all live.

Good Value.......1999-03-30

This is the best collection I've seen too lock in a strong collection of 2nd Wave Ska. It's all strong stuff. The draw back is if you alreadly own a lot of varity Ska CD's your going to get a LOT of duplication. I figure I alreadly have 1/3 to 1/2 the tracks on this collection in other Ska CD such as Ska-ville UK, SKAndalous, Dance Craze, Ska Down with Her and Runin Naked thru the Cornfield. Not to mention the orginal albums. But at the price who can knock 64 tracks and close to 4 hours of skanking Ska. This is your best buy if your new to Ska and not a bad buy if your a serious collector.
