Rudy Boy classics from the peak ska years at Treasure Isle – classics and rarities cut at Duke Reid's by Stranger Cole, Baba Brooks, The Skatalites, Alton Ellis & The Flames, The Silvertones, Don Drummond, The Riots, The Melodites and many more! Like the other great 2CD collections in the Treasure Isle compilation series, it's top notch material that provides damn strong snapshot of the period.
