Amy Winehouse: The Ska EP 7″

Limited press 7″ EP with Winehouse covering some two-tone favorites. The slow skank of Sam Cooke’s “Cupid” suits her voice best, but I’m feeling the accompaniment on “Hey Little Rich Girl” too. Two more Specials covers – the uptempo “You’re Wondering Now” and a skippable version “Monkey Man” – round things out. Plays at 33.
