BITTER ROSE * SHENLEY DUFFAS - BAGONAIRS * ISLAND 021 * UK
Probably the oldest record to be called Ska on this page, this good fast dance number is Coxsone Dodd production found on the B side of a Don Drummond instrumental Schooling The Duke. This is not an official 'White label' but one that has had it's label completely removed, and the only way left to identify its original issue is by the Master or Matrix numbers, stamped or scratched in the dead wax or run off.
