BUSTER, PRINCE - I FEEL THE SPIRIT 

Cecil Bustamente Campbell, better known around the world as Prince Buster, was one of the most important figures in the development of ska - and, ultimately, reggae - music. Not just an innovator, he's also one of the more distinct and distinguished voices in the history of Jamaican popular music. I Feel The Spirit is his very first long player - and was a hit both at home in Kingston, and in the West Indian clubs of London, where it would help to inspire the late 70s/early 80s 2-Tone movement. This album is one of the most important LP documents of early Jamaican ska, and features backing from ska luminaries as Drumbago, Lester Sterling, and Rico Rodriguez. ESSENTIAL!
