The Selecter
The Selecter are often considered Two-Tone's 'also ran's' behind
The Specials. They were a top live draw in their own right though,
and their 1980 album Too Much Pressure was full of sharp,
organ-heavy ska pop such as Three Minute Hero and On
My Radio (sampled by Basement Jaxx on their track of the same
name).rn
Celebrate The Bullet (1981), meanwhile, was the
ambivalent follow-up that tried to get serious (singer Pauline
Black even stopped wearing a porkpie hat!).
It was patchier by far, but in the doom-laden title track and Washed
Up & Left For Dead they made probably the best music of
their career.
