a close up of a man wearing sunglasses with the word one on the bottom Alt: a close up of Chas Smash (Cathal “Carl” Joseph Smyth) of the ska band Madness wearing sunglasses singing “One Step Beyond”

“One Step Beyond” was the first cassette tape I ever purchased. Thus began my affinity for Ska. Played it so much I broke it. Bought it again.
