is it a good listing? are there any omissions?

I personally would say Pressure Drop by Toots and the Matytals seeing as it's been covered a lot of times and I think it's a cracking tune.

its very common, theres so many ska compilations and there all the same :/

Ghost Town - The Specials I think is a bit of an omission.... The very sound of early 80s urban alienation.....

I'm very pleased to see Carlos Malcolm's 'Bonanza Ska' in there - what a brilliant cover it is :)
