Hi,
I'd like to recommend the following compilations
Studio One Ska (Soul Jazz)
Prince Busters Original Golden Oldies Vol.1 & Vol.2 (Prince Buster)
Gaz Mayall Top Ska Tunes (Trojan)
and off course everything the Skatalites did on Studio One Records and Top Deck (search for the 'Top Sounds on Top Deck' volumes from West Side Records).
I think this will do for a 'jump'start. :)
Greetings
