Toots be da man! He was the one who introduced me to ska back in the 60s, then let me discover rocksteady and then lead me into reggae. What a master!

Nice one! I will never get tired of listening to the wonderful timeless sounds of 60sJamaica, and it´s still quite difficult to get hold of original images from that time. So thanks a lot for uploading this!! They re-release all of kind of boring shit every day but this VHS still waits to see its more than deserved release on DVD...

Boss sounds. Skinhead greetings from Germany.

What a wonderful and fascinating contribution to youtube! This is worth watching, worth listening to and sharing with friends! It's "source material" for ska, contemporary with the time of it's heyday and it's artists.

Thank god for youtube and people like "jw31209"
