I feel that the paragraph titled "The Beat Goes On" is now superfluous since you have rightly included GB's words on the "third phase".
I would also suggest that the reference to the samples be combined with the track listings for the first and second phases to make a single section with a header such as "Feel the Beat". I'm sure that there are samples around of some of the older tunes but I don't have the time to run them down.

Adding the links to the ska samples I mentioned isn't a bad idea, but the ones that go to Yahoo are pretty much useless. Allow me to suggest the following in their place:
Homegrown: http://www.homegrownonline.com/index2.html
Reel Big Fish: http://www.reelbigfish.com/
Save Ferris: http://www.saveferris.com/
Dance Hall Crashers: http://www.dancehallcrashers.com/

No sooner does this one get edited than we turn around and put our heads together on a better one.

Sorry gents. I will take your excellent suggestions to heart (or a vital organ of some sort, for which I reserve the right to make last minute substitutions) and see what can be done. I came across this forum (belatedly) while working on Loony's very excellent a worthwhile (to coin a phrase) Reggae thing, which will be making its official debut very soon.

Having taken the suggestions would you it help if I posted an update to the article on this forum ?

The new, improved ska article which references your reggae "yarn" is at www.h2g2.com/A350074. Perhaps you could reference to it instead of the old one.
