Came out in 1980 on their 'Too Much Pressure' album (1 of only 2 albums made by the band).
Not in any way the 'original track from James Bond' movies - it was just a fun experiment. Also a play off of the one that The Skatalites did (find their version on youtube as well!).
first ever gig i saw . march 1980. portsmouth guildhall........... THE SELECTER.........14 years old.. brilliant.... footage from this gig used on DANCE CRAZE!!!!!!!!
German snitchers are immediately flagging my postings. My brother Markus Bott was tortured and murdered to stop him publishing in the internet. As a result of the BND torturing my brother our hompage had been offline between 2005 and the end of 2009. Censuring the internet through torture and murder is of concern to everyone using the internet or running a homepage.
That facility wasn't available when I wrote the comment !
YouTube are constantly chopping and changing, and it's all very chaotic. So it's hard to work out what to do for each particular clip to get the best sound. You'll still find clips with no "HQ", but then it'll work with the &fmt=18 "trick".

Add &fmt=18 to the URL address, and it plays much better. The mysteries of YouTube !
