I posted the album on Tone and Wave many years ago. I knew the song Rude Boy Rude Girl so I was expecting a ska album. I was wrong. With a name like "Vegimite REGGAE" most people would assume they'd play a bit of reggae on occasion but that's not the case. Like Johnny Rivers' "L.A. Reggae" album which had no reggae at all. I was disappointed with it but I already knew what I was getting myself into when I got the single so I was less judgemental and I actually like the single quite a bit.

"I was expecting ska" is a reoccurring theme on this blog. I guess crate digging has its ups and downs.
ReplyDelete"I was expecting ska" is the underlying premise of the blog. While doing Tone and Wave for the last twelve years I would buy anything and everything that the seller said was ska. In the early days when there were vastly more blogs out there a lot of the "ska" based blogs posted equal amounts of punk and rockabilly and whatever else so I decided to keep Tone and Wave as purely ska as I could but I have so many other things that just don't fit the mood so it was always a consideration to start another blog to share everything else. Since most of my audience at this time on this blog are migrating from that blog I'm posting a lot of stuff that they might have in their wantlist without having heard it first.
DeleteI'll try to balance it out a bit more.
