i have been listening around and i have to say 2 tone is my least favorite to the 1st wave and 3rd wave

[forestgumpaed]

two tone was probably the most successful label as independant can be.

[malcolmcog]

bad copy of real rocksteady, for shame.

[tobs22]

[farmer1967]

thank god for the 80,s !!!

[voncapo]

Have you ever wondered if there was no way of hearing the great classics, and we were doomed to hear this shit nowadays?

[petef15]

@voncapo suicide rate would increase tenfold.

[MartinConnollyonBass]

A simple 12 bar blues pattern in F. If this doesn't make you feel happy inside, you must be dead.

[thumbs70]

[callysastle]

Pauline Black

[thumbs70]

oh yeah, how could I 4get? Thanx 4 that

[Widmerpool99]

@callysastle But Pauline was in The Selecter. Rhoda Dakar was the singer for The Bodysnatchers.

[callysastle]

I know the question was re Pauline's surname not the Bodysnatchers :)

[mw0cri]

cant someone get these to reform!!!! only these and selctor to see and i can die a happy man!!! ska forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[callysastle]

Selector and Pauline Black are playing at Leamington Spa Assembly in March with The Beat

[Forestamtul]

when was this song a hit and how far did this reach the charts thanks. didnt some of them be in Belle Stars or Amazulu? only if you know thanks.

[callysastle]

this reached no 22 in the UK charts in 1980 , Sarah Jane Owen, Miranda Joyce, Stella Barker went on to form the Belle Stars

[erasure43]

Pauline and Rhoda were my IDOLS throughout my teens, tons of fond memories, fortunate to see them both live: good stuff:)

[godstargodstar]

Not got any photos by chance LOL Loved them always my favorites shame they kinda exploded!!

[erasure43]

Sorry no, apart from some really old Smash Hits magazines in the attic! No mob phones then when I saw them, apart from the ones the size of a brick with a car battery sized charger, and they did'nt take photos then. I did have a camera though, not a very good one, but remember being not allowed to use it, I was only very young and dared not even take one sneeky shot, scared that I might get thrown out!!!

[phatspam08]

People get ready :)

[babycakes789]

[SKANDPUNKS]

@jnr11000 NF/BNP? we don't read your mind einstein

[frididjurhuus]

@jnr11000 Sorry for my ignorance, but I'm only 17. What does NF/BNP stand for?

[takethescenicroute]

@frididjurhuus National Front/British Nationalist Party. Not ignorance, just lack of exposure, which is essentially a good thing considering their racist ideologies.

[susansmith44]

@frididjurhuus

National Front///British National Party...means white power!!

[gingergiblet]

@jnr11000 just had the same conversation myself :D

[allysda]

[elbob099]

ill agree with that, no doubt were alright

[NikkiSpitfire]

No Doubt are good (their earlier stuff).. yeah they'll obviously never be as good as 2 tone but they're good for third wave ska.

[gasjkh2]

Takes me back to my youth, long hot sunny days, cool music. This tune is one of the best from a gr8 era of 2 Tone music. I was so lucky to grow up in this era, just love it & I am now 44! Any youth out there, take some time to research SKA & 2 Tone, it really was a special era for UK music. Absolute quality. Thanks for bringing back the good days!

Ahh memories, dream on!!!!!

[badcopbadcop]

still got this on 7'' vinyl - and stil love it! Happy days :)

[tes74]

Thank you badcopbadcop ;)

[CityYoungGuns]

Great song. Stella from the Bodysnatchers apparently features in Neville Staple's upcoming biography of himself - 'Original Rude Boy'. Out in April. I found out you can pre-order the book on Waterstone's. At last, a decent book on 2 Tone and ska. Sounds like Neville is going to bear all for us. Why aren't the girls supporting the Specials on the reunion tour?

[erasure43]

Stll doing it now even though I have 4 children and a mortgage!!!!! The teenager inside will not be removed without force!!

[tes74]
