Too Much Two Tone: Ska Classics

Search: Sea Cruise - Rico (1)
by: Various Artists

Release Date September 17, 2001
`Too Much Two Tone' is a supermarket compilation and yet where other supermarket compilations miss whole swathes of essential tracks this one ticks all the boxes with the all important Special number ones `Too Much Too Young' and `Ghost Town' (the extended 12" dub, no less) as well as a sprinkling of the rarities such as Rico's `Sea Cruise' and the later bands such as The Higsons and The Friday club which are generally air brushed out of the labels history to make for a monochrome Ska label which is readily identified.

That's not to say the Ska is underplayed, as well as the four Specials track, the Madness 45 `The Prince' is here, two Bodysnatchers tracks (neither of which are available on CD elsewhere) and three singles released ... Read More:

The No.1 Ska Album

Search: Sea Cruise - Rico (1)
by: Various Artists

Release Date March 10, 1997
My first experience of this type of music was back in the two tone days of Madness, Specials, Beat, Selecter, Bad Manners and Bodysnatchers. At the time I was simply blown away with the sheer energy and passion the music created. There was also a terrific dress code to accompany this new style. Two-Tone was born. Its now a household name for those years, but meekly began as a low budget record label by Jerry Dammers ( keyboard player with The Specials). Many of the songs were in fact covers of earlier "reggae/ska/rocksteady" tunes from the 60s and early 70s.

What this album does magnificently is blend the power and agression of the two tone years with the original recordings of the aerlier years. Every single track on this album is a gem.
