Selecter
Here are the two first (and only?) albums by the Selecter, an 80's secondwave ska band who, along with the Specials, ran the Two Tone Records label. They didn't meet with as much success as their labelmates, but they were still a great band, for what they were. Distinctive for Pauline Black's great vocals, when the majority of the leading two tone ska groups had male vocals, these albums come from a very specific time and place, namely, 80's Britain. Although these albums do sound a bit dated and didn't age as well as I once expected, I still listen to them quite a bit, and perhaps so will you!!

Hey there! Just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say thanks for the Selecter albums! They're one of those bands I should get into but never have had the opportunity, so thanks for providing it! I do love the Specials, so hopefully I'll go for these guys too!
