Review

Ska-tola includes alternate takes from Roland Alphonso ("Determination," "Cleo's Back," "Tough Talk," "Shot in the Dark"), Johnny Moore ("Yogi Man," "South China Sea," "Red Is Danger"), the Skatalites ("Live Wire," "El Pussycat"), and Baba Brooks ("Distant Drums"). It's perfect for reggae collectors out there who are interested in these sides, but it's nowhere near any kind of choice for beginners. ~ Earl Simmons, All Music Guide
