The shuffle rhythm that was born from the American Rhythm and Blues tunes that hit Jamaica in the 1950's would soon fuse under its Jamaican influence and find an emphasis on the second and fourth bars of the beat.
This Off-Beat would create the Ska Sound and no finer exponent of this in the sounds early days was Theo Beckford. We have compiled some great early Ska cuts for this release that have been touched with the T. Beckford magic. Some of his own classic hits 'Flip, Flop and Fly' (aka Walking Down King Street), 'Mr Downpressor' the fantastic 'Don't Have a Ticket Don't Worry'. His poignant duo of 'Grudgeful People' and 'Ungrateful People' and two other timeless tracks 'What A Woe' and 'Boilerman'.
Alongside some of his productions for some of the other long - forgotten hero's of the early Ska Sound. Basil Gabiddon's 'Streets of Glory', Frank Cosmo's 'On Your Knees', Shenley and Annette's 'Now Your Gone' and Daniel Johnson's uplifting 'Come On My People
