from our buddies over at Square Records, this 22 song sampler, a tribute to
the thriving ska scene of Boston in the early 1990s, has become the difinitive
statement on Bostonian ska. Although long out of print, it is well worth looking
for, containing such notable and now legendary acts as the Mighty Mighty Bosstones
and Bim Skala Bim. 1700 made. Cover design for the Musical Tragedies version
by noted cartoonist Harald Bauer.
