LP version. Ska was the name given to the music that came out of Jamaica between 1961 and '66, based on the American R&B and doo-wop records that the sound systems in Kingston used to play. But the American records' style started to mellow out while the Jamaicans preferred a more upbeat sound. So the sound system bosses became record producers to cater to this demand. Sir Coxsone Dodd and Duke Reid led the way, putting the top musicians on the island in the studio to make music, with the emphasis on the offbeat making the music unmistakably Jamaican. WIRL (West Indies Records Limited) was set up by the Jamaican politician Edward Seaga in the late 1950s. He had supervised the recording of an album of ethnic Jamaican music and needed an outlet for it's eventual release. In 1962, the year of Jamaican independence, Seaga became a member of parliament, representing the Jamaica Labour Party, and decided to sell the label to Byron Lee, who changed the name from WIRL to Dynamic Sounds. Ska from the Vaults of WIRL Records features some of the best scorching ska sounds to come out of WIRL, and they still sound as fresh today as they did when they were recorded. Features tracks by the Skatalites, Johnny Moore, Roland Alphonso, and Don Drummond. CD edition features two bonus tracks by the Skatalites: Lawless Street and Marcus Junior.

Great for the price and the rhinestones add the extra pop.
Size: 2 Big Kid, Color: White/Rhinestones
My 7yo loves them. They appear well made and fit as expected. I saw some reviews of them being too big but no issues here. She’s worn them everyday for a week and she said they are comfortable. Color matches description and the rhinestones add the β€œextra sparkle” she loves. They did get some mud on them at recess but it was easy to clean off. Overall, no complaints for the price.

Inexpensively Cute, Resilient and Durable...
Size: 5 Big Kid, Color: Purple, Size: 5 Big Kid, Color: Purple
Purchased these cheap mesh-like breathable, high quality light-weight canvas material non-reputable, off-brand name sneakers for my stepdaughter because her puma sneakers were wet. My daughter loves them; not only are they her favorite color, she says they're very comfortable and easy to put on. They're easy to put on, with a slip on style and also have tie up for a tighter fit. My daughter also says likes the purple in-sole bubble that looks like a real air bubble but its really hard plastic volcanized to give a nice polished purple color finish. My daughter is happy with them, so I am too. They're well worth the practical cost, I look forward to them lasting a growth period of approximately six months to a year. Highly recommended. Pick you child's favorite color! You'll be happy you did...
