Desmond Dekker & The Aces - 007 Shanty Town (1967)

I think I would call "007 (Shanty Town)" reggae and not ska, but what do I know! I also feel as though I'm coming close to Chet Hanks territory when I listen to music with the lyrics "rude boy".

"Rudie Got Soul" makes me think of Lemon Jelly's "The Slow Train", which I don't think is particularly ska/reggae-like, but maybe I'm wrong! Or it could just be the "souuuuul".

I really enjoyed this one. It was pretty short, at 31 minutes, but I could definitely see me relistening to it.
