Album of the Month
BLUE BEAT HITS
PRINCE BUSTER
BLUE BEAT Records
Before 2 Tone, before Mod, there was Prince Buster. Long before Madness and The Specials brought ska back into the charts, Prince Buster was cutting singles that would define an entire era of Jamaican music.
Blue Beat Hits collects those defining singles from his run on The Blue Beat Label, the imprint whose name became so synonymous with the sound that "blue beat" is still used as shorthand for ska today. Remastered and pressed for a new generation of turntables, it's a rare chance to hear the tracks that shaped everything that followed in one place.
RECORD TOKENS
Record Tokens are the perfect gift for any occasion. From birthdays to Christmas, they are a gift of choice for those life-long music lovers as well as for those yet to experience buying their first vinyl record.
