This 1986 U.K. released compilation of Ska from the U.S. had an identical track listing and very similar cover art as the American released “N.Y. Beat- Hit & Run” compilation found HERE.
Also the cartoon character on the back of the album jacket is one of the same characters that can be found on the Toasters 1985 release “Recriminations” on Moon Records found HERE.
First 3rd Wave Ska Compilation! Bands included are The Toasters, Beat Brigade, The A-Kings, Cryin’ Out Loud, City Beat, The Daybreakers, The Scene, The Press, Urban Blight, Second Step, The Boilers (featuring future Skinnerbox & Stubborn All-Stars frontman King Django), Too True and Floor Kiss. This album was also released in the U.K. under a different name but with the exact same track listing and can be found HERE.
