Its also great how Danny Vapid nails all the backup vocal parts perfectly. Plus,the crowd singing along in parts of the songs makes you really feel like your in there with them. Oh,I don't mind about the omission of "I can see clearly now". And I really don't know about that song being a fan favorite?

Plus, there haven't been enough people talking about this record. It’s been sitting in my drafts since the album came out, and I wanted to get it out.

I visited Jamaica recently and found a local music shop to explore new music. I bought 11 CD's and they were all burned. One of them has the title Ska Skatology with 29 songs. I can't find any information about it, don't have song titles and am no longer in Jamaica. Any idea who this band is? I like them. I was referred to you because I have a Ska question.
