Dandy

The Ska's the Limit

£13.99

Released: 10th January 2025. This collection focuses on Robert Thompson aka Dandy's formative years as a performer, featuring significant best-sellers, such as 'What A Life!', 'Oh Dear What Can the Matter Be', 'I'm Not Crying Now' and 'Let's Ska', along with numerous obscurities that have remained unavailable on any format for six decades. As with the companion Doctor Bird volume, 'Rock Steady With Dandy', all recordings have been officially licensed from the singer himself, and with 24 of the 28 tracks new to CD this is a must-have acquisition for fans of the singer and the timeless sound of ska!
