Karma to anyone who can tell me what two Ska groups played the background music in Bob Marley and the Wailers early records.

Why don't you tell us? 

I'm listening to the NUGGETS collection, 4 discs, had this for years but really only listened to the first 2 and now getting into discs 3 and 4 (but skipping a bunch more songs, discs 3 - 4 have what was left off of the original 2 LP collection, including several well known records, frequently collected).  GONN's record is the best of the bunch, it was simply too long in 1972 to be accomodated on a vinyl collection.  2:25 minutes in it starts to sound like a moment off of THE STOOGES Fun House.  Tell me IGGY did not have this record in his collection!!

The Ska-talites and The Upsetters!

So cool to think that a lot of artists of that time and place played on the same records with each other.
Also, supposedly Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff both worked in the same factory... it's a small world, or Jamaica is just a small island.

I'm digging that 60's proto-punk you're listening to AllHallowsDay; that's the bomb!
Are most of those groups American, or are they sort of British Mod?

I have so much to learn.

Yeh, maybe it's just Jamaica's a small island...

They're all American, many modeling themselves after the STONES, KINKS, BEATLES, what have you, also a few keeping first wave Rock alive.  I'm leery of labels these days, but see your suggestion "proto-punk..."  Garage Rock I like calling it.  Interestingly, NUGGETS subtitle advises these cuts are "Artyfacts from the first Psychedelic era..."

[Nukie 2]

There were garages in the 1960's, I thought Americans only had car-ports !
Not, that I'm trying to be a label monster, but that's probably more correct than "proto-punk", as it's retrospective... but without such bands there wouldn't be the Stooges or the Ramones.

the skat e lites were only around initially for like a year but they recorded dozens of songs in that time, if not hundreds.  I have one called "the skatelites on top Deck" that is crazy.  they had the one guy who only played the ska line on the horn.  that's all he did!  it's a very punk record, kind of like dick dale or something, like too early for punnk but just as crazy.


Also been listening to Black Oak Arkanasas.  They were a very weird band.  David Lee Roth is said to have taken alot of his schtick from their lead singer Jim Dandy.  Dandy's stage persona was even more lurid and sexualized and his singing was even worse.  It's horrible.  Their music is really good though, really true to form southern rock.
