This book tells the story of ska music and its development from Jamaica to England, where the music took on a distinctively different tone, and finally to the rest of the world. Through the words of legendary artists, gleaned from more than a decade of interviews, the story of ska music is finally told by those who were there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eexcellent...fascinating interviews...hugely entertaining\" —\u003ci\u003eTrojan Records\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"well-researched and always interesting book\" —\u003ci\u003eR2 Rock 'n' Reel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"groundbreaking story...worthy tribute\" —\u003ci\u003eChesterton Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"you'll definitely want this book\" —\u003ci\u003eMarco on the Bass\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"McFarland and Company, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038041669975,"sku":"9780786460403","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780786460403.jpg?v=1750938786","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ska-9780786460403","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
