related to the Specials thread...

S: The Selector "Three Minute Hero" and "On My Radio," The Specials "The Boiler" and "Ghost Town,"

D: Rico "Jungle Music," Madness "The Prince" (and I do like lots of their stuff, but not this one), the gap in Jerry Dammers' teeth

used to like 2tone, till I heard real early 60s ska. Then it seemed kinda rushed and kinda soul-less. Or perhaps that's unfair, I guess 2tone was a whole different thing. But what? Hmmm, I guess I should go back and relisten to some, it's been 20 years or so...Any ideas on how 2tone compares to the rill thing?

five years pass...

I'm listening to the Mary Poppins soundtrack right now and "Step In Time" really presages the spirit of 2nd wave ska. Do you think Madness cut their teeth on this shit or what?

Yes, it's a cool strip but Coventry City have previous for this, there was the famous chocolate brown strip from the 70s(?)

Am I missing a pun here, ‘cause that sure as hell doesn’t look like Jan.
