Reggae In Space



Since the early days of ska, when the United States and the Soviet Union were competing for space supremacy, the interest of man reaching beyond the planet that we all know as home has been the subject of many a Jamaican tune... especially in 1969, during the height of the early/skinhead reggae era when America put a man on the moon.  Now I'm not going to get into conspiracy theories about that event, I'm going to get into what you're going to hear!
