Prince Buster and The Trojans recorded their version of "Stack-O-Lee," a notable rendition of the iconic song, in a ska and rocksteady style. The track was released on a 12" single, backed by a dub version titled "Stack-O-Dub." The release, produced by Gaz Mayall, came out on Gaz's Rockin' Records. This version stands out for its reggae influence, with the smooth, laid-back rhythm typical of the ska revival movement during that era.

For fans of reggae and ska, this take on Stack-O-Lee offers a fresh perspective on the classic tale of Stagger Lee, blending the song's narrative with the sounds of the 1960s Jamaican music scene.
