For me Tainted Love was a classic but it wasn't an original song, whereas Ghost Town was a great song and captured the zeitgeist re the inner city riots and racial tension.

I'm not a ska man but Ghost Town is an incredibly evocative song. Such an incredible atmosphere to that song.

Great work by the way, [MENTION=31]El Presidente[/MENTION].
