    Combining Jamaican ska with punk to create 2 tone, was brilliant with bands such The Selector, Madness, The Specials, The Beat and many more.

      It wasn't a combination, it was a revival of ska: the second wave.

    Now this is real Coventry City of Culture 2021 nostalgia. Pauline Black is still a great Coventry ambassador 😁

    Saw them at N. Staffs Poly in Oct 1979. Good group. Sorry to hear that Gaps Hendrickson has passed on.

    Top of the Pops was just perfect for 2 tone music and vise versa

    Fabulous tune, I just wish I'd spent my pocket money a bit more wisely collecting their 45s.

    The close-ups at 45 to 51, & then also at 1:57, I watched an interview with Neol Davies. Before they performed Neol Davies had noted all the camera positions & their likely movements. They then made sure that at all the most likely moments they were both seen together, ie white man & black man. They wanted to send out a powerful message to 1979 racist Britain.
    It worked perfectly as they had very carefully planned & choreographered.
    Joe Strummer declared The Clash as the only Band that mattered but really 2 of the most important Bands in Britain were "The Selecter" & "The Specials".

    The stage isn’t big enough for their energy! The adoption of punk stylings to traditional ska really sets the Selecter and the Specials apart from the rest.

    I remember when my nan (Who lived in London.) explained to me (Who lived in Devon.) about skinheads when they were around. She said these lads shaved their heads. I was very young and I thought she meant they shaved the skin off their heads. I was terrified by the thought of these bloody ghoul faced monsters. lol
