Playlist for Ska’s the Limit on October 25, 2009

2009 has shaped up to be quite a year for new Ska and Reggae releases. Just last week, I acquired brand new material from King Django, The Slackers, Chris Murray and Go Jimmy Go.  As it follows, I brought all that down to the station, last night, for your listening pleasure.  Just to keep things on that new tip, I also debuted new stuff from The Specials, Ken Boothe, Dawn Penn, Unlikely Alibi, Bedouin Soundclash and so much more.
