Speaking of ska, ¿how do we establish the ska beat? ¿how do we establish that it's on the second and fourth beats and not simply that the first beat starts later?

Sad to hear that Hepcat singer Gregory Lee passed away recently. He certainly had a sweet and clear voice.
Didn't listen to a lot of Hepcat frankly, but I love the tracks "I Can't Wait" and "Riding the Region" that were on the Hellcat Records "Give 'Em The Boot" compilations, which I listened to constantly throughout high school. Nostalgic for me, and otherwise fantastic chill tunes in that classic ska/soul pocket for sure.
Produced by Elvis Costello, it’s just one of those classic endlessly playable and FUN albums.
I can’t spin this without immediately wanting to hear The Selecter’s Too Much Pressure afterward.
So that’s probably hitting the table after this gem. #vinyl#vinylrecords#80s#80smusic#ska#TheSpecials
