+5 for "Liquidator" alone, it is one of my favorite favorite instrumentals. Great looking mix.

Could you sendspace this please? It looks so good, but I'm afraid I only have four of all those songs (#3, #10, #20 and #22).

Very nice. As a kid, I was in Brighton one Bank Holiday Monday and witnessed some mods and rocker action first hand. I was scared to death. I was hoping for a Prince Buster track as I looked through this, but it is very wonderful!
