The Carribean and more importantly for us, Jamaica has a rich history with spy's and cold war espionage thanks to both Communist Cuba and womaniser James Bond's lasting legacy. Since I'm such a espionage and music geek I thought I would post a selection of 'Bond' inspired ska, rocksteady and dubwise tunes. Thanks to the Sidewalk Doctor with help on a few of these. Reup!
