RCA Victor records  1967 ‎– 47-9114

 

 notes:

Few tracks capture the wit and cultural edge of early Jamaican 
ska like “Ten Commandments From Woman To Man” by Prince Buster 
and Princess Buster. Released during the explosive rise of 1960s ska music,
 this classic stands out for its clever call-and-response style and bold take
 on relationships. Paired with “Ain’t That Saying A Lot,” the record blends
 infectious rhythms with sharp social commentary, making it a must-listen 
for fans of vintage Jamaican music. In this post, we break down the song’s 
meaning, lyrical themes, and why it still resonates with listeners today.
