Can anyone recommend a very good extensive ska compilation/box set? I've got quite a lot of wonderful Lee 'Scratch' Perry related sounds, but could do with a wider sonic ska palette too. Thanks.

http://darkchocolatechips.net/music/Roots%207%20inches/ Ta for another excuse to repost this link - more biased towards dub and bluebeat than ska, but wtf. For pure ska heaven, I'd recommend any/all of the budget-priced Trojan boxes.

The 9 cd box was a tenner when it was available.

All good recommendations upthread, as far as I can tell. If you're interested in the late '70s revival too, this is a good primer: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Totally-2-Tone/release/4688841
