Listening to this finely crafted collection of the early works of the Blues Busters in terms of sound and visual, you can well understand why the duo was chosen to represent Jamaica at the 1964 New York World Exhibition and to ensure that ska is brought into the American mainstream. As you know, this didn't work out at first, but it certainly didn't matter to Philipp James and Lloyd Osbourne Campbell, because although these recordings date back to the early sixties, when the Jamaican music industry was still in its infancy, they already sound surprisingly perfect. Unfortunately, both died far too early, in 1989 and 1991, and did not experience the late appreciation.
