Various: Two Tone (8x CD) - CD

The special box is released on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Two Tone Records label and contains the first eight albums released on this label, including two compilations with long unavailable recordings.

Label Two Tone Records was founded in 1979 by Jerry Dammers and is primarily associated with The Specials. Their two singles ' Too Much Too Young' and ' Ghost Town' reached the very top of the UK charts. But the legendary The Madness and The Selecter, for example, began their careers with him.
