Various - Let's Do Rocksteady

Yep, more early ska! This compilation was released in 2002. I actually purchased it solely for Stop That Train, which was also included on The Harder They Come soundtrack (hiding behind the title "Draw Your Brakes") that I coincidentally purchased at the same time. Oops.

This is double CD seemingly contains every rocksteady song ever rocorded! Which can either be a good thing, or a bad thing...

Bad news first. Aside from a handful of well-known pop songs, most of the songs blur into each other for me. So I very quickly get bored when trying to actively listen to it.

On the plus side, this same-ness makes for great background music. By putting this CD on, you are guaranteed approximately 2 hours of a gentle mood without imposing any surprises or disturbance.

I diggit?

Sadly, I'm not enough of a rocksteady aficionado to properly appreciate this.
