Early in the UK punk scene punk shows used to spin reggae between bands. So punk bands started playing covers but it didn’t gel till Specials founder Jerry Dahmers brought a Prince Buster record to practice & said “this is uptempo so it’s gonna work better”. Hence 2nd wave ska apple.co/44Sq8TI

Because by the late 70s reggae was the dominant Jamaican music, not 60s ska, I’d always wondered how the UK bands drew the conclusion they needed to look back to the older style. So there you go. Anyway you can hear me talk about 2 Tone Records and second wave ska on Junk Filter podcast.
