There wouldn't be bands like Madness, The Specials, The Busters, Bad Manners, The Toasters, or even The Skatalites. 2 Tone, the second wave of Ska, has produced many bands that are still well-known today. Many hits from back then are still played today and have become indispensable at popular Ska nights.
Many of these hits were recorded by bands and artists who were signed to the probably most important label of the scene, “2 Tone Records“.
Now, clever people have thought that what was good back then is still good today. The frequently played original recordings on vinyl won't get any better over time. So, what can be done for fans and the next generation (and for one's own wallet)?
With “The Best of 2 Tone“, there are 18 songs, many of which are likely to be world-famous, such as “Gangsters“ by The Special Aka, “A Message to you Rudy“ by The Specials (feat. Rico), “The Prince“ by Madness, “On my Radio“ by The Selecter, to name just a few.
You start singing along and moving from the very first listen.
Ah, it's wonderful to hear these classics in their original recordings. It has been fun so far and will continue to be fun in the future. These songs are songs for eternity.
For those who miss the crackle of vinyl, just buy the double vinyl and play it at some parties; it will sound as if the vinyl is from the 70s or 80s.
It really only remains to say that this Best Of truly belongs in every person's record collection or MP3 collection, damn it.
