.........with the release of "Gangsters" vs. "The Selecter", a double A sided 7inch vinyl record, which climbed to no 6 in the uk chart. I am very proud to have been a part of this first record. It was created by the musicians involved without much outside help and came out of the frustration of life in Coventry at the time. These things have been said before but the main thing is the music......both Gangsters and The Selecter sounded good. When we took the tracks out to clubs and hustled the dj to play them, the reaction showed on the dancefloor and that told us what we were doing musically was liked by people. What followed was a couple of years of 2Tone Records enabling and creating some very good music which has stayed popular ever since. I have recorded a new instrumental in the style of the original "The Selecter" to mark the occasion of the 30th anniversary of 2Tone Records which will be free to download from my website in a few days time as a way of saying thank you to all of the many people from all over the world who continue to be loyal devotees of 2Tone music. Thank you all very much for the kind words and encouragement and for buying the music. For me personally, the fact that I get money from the music simply means I have been able to create more music over the years. That is a privilege for which I am grateful and I want to thank everyone who has loved the music by saying.......... here is some more!!!
