Prince Buster -- "One Step Beyond"
The rhythm here is one of the most intense you'll ever hear, and the sax has the kind of sound that you could only get in the 1960s. You can play the same notes, but they just don't sound like that anymore.
I can't claim to be a great expert on ska, and I sometimes get my rocksteady confused with straight-up reggae, but as far as I can tell this track is the very epitome of what ska as a genre is trying to achieve.
