The Selecter (more here) do rank lower on 2-Tone pantheon for me just because "Too Much Pressure" is so face-meltingly good that it sometimes overshadows a lot of their other material (but I imagine I'm in the minority on this one).
BBC Sessions link is in the comments
Speaking of comments, where do you think The Selecter fit in the 2-Tone hierarchy?

great band. great blog
ReplyDeleteI'd call the Selecter 'under-rated.' Because they're not the best (or most popular) 2-tone band, they get no love. But they deserve love. Plenty of love. Pauline Black is a dynamo.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for all of the 2-tone posts.
Pauline Black is a huge two tone hero like she's more than the specials maybe, but the selecter as the band are not, i don't know if what i'm writing as any sense

ReplyDeleteAll true! (thanks)

Pauline was totally a 'dynamo'.

You're writing in praise of Pauline and that makes perfect sense.
Attended 'panic on the streets' session at 02 london on 7th June. a brilliant evening, the guest speakers include the great Pauline Black..however was most fascinated by the talk and images by Pogus Caesar who documented the 1985 Handsworth disturbances.

INSIDE OUT: BBC TV. POGUS CAESAR RETURNS TO HANDSWORTH, UK.
In 1985 tension and community discontentment escalated into the historical Handsworth riots that rocked Birmingham UK between 9th - 11th September 1985.
Birmingham film maker and photographer Pogus Caesar knows Handsworth well. He found himself in the centre of the 1985 riots and spent two days capturing a series of startling images. Caesar kept them hidden for 20 years. Why? And how does he see Handsworth now?.
The stark black and white photographs featured in the film provide a rare, valuable and historical record of the raw emotion, heartbreak and violence that unfolded during those dark and fateful days in September 1985.
