Another #goodread... Black By Design by The Selecter's Pauline Black. Not just for the 2-Tone fans, this excellent book is a potted social history of the latter half of the 20th and early 21st century told via Pauline's experiences - and all the things wrong in the UK. Not always easy reading but what a strong, talented woman.

Surely there has to be some planet where someone left a bunch of #2Tone and #Ska records. Just an entire planet of rudies, waiting to be discovered.
Paramount, answer my emails.

Why is this #GenreBending? Because the original was by Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians. It was a smooth, loungey big band number. It was very far away from this ska-2tone approach.

The Selecter, "On My Radio" (1979, live 1991)
"This one's for all the radio stations who won't play ska!"

Now on to the Ska Revival of the late 70s and early 80s, which introduced a new generation (including me) to ska through 2 Tone (ska + punk), and led some to rediscover the classics of Jamaican Ska.
First up –
Madness, "One Step Beyond" (1979)
"Well listen, Buster, you better start to move your feet!"
This is a cover of Prince Buster's All Stars 1965 B-side to "Al Capone" on the Blue Beat label (later the © changed to 1964).

16 year old me is full of joy this morning. A marvelous person on here told me about this incredible deluxe edition release of Dance Craze. Saw this film at the midnight show in hs and danced my ass off in the theater with everyone else there. Made it a life long mission to see these bands live. The anti-racist, love and unity, anti-violence message in the 2tone band world is STILL what we need today! A true Time Machine trip for me today. #music #vinyl #vinylcollection #nowPlaying #ska #2tone

This sound reverberated out of all the older lads bedroom windows on the estate I grew up on in 1979. This and One Step Beyond by Madness were the sounds of my early years, exotic, angry and fresh compared to the pop music of the time

283 followers · 599 posts · Server neurodifferent.meHere's another #JukeboxFridayNight - still with the ska crime songs, but moving across the Atlantic for the 2 Tone ska revival. And the aforementioned Specials.
Gangsters was a reworking of Prince Buster's Al Capone (which links us to the previous Jamaican tracks), but with new lyrics.
