Look at baseball players pre-1960s. Rookies look 30 years old and afflicted with a terminal disease.

Re: 2 Tone Turns 40!!
Has anyone got the 40th anniversary version of The Specials on vinyl?
Thinking of upgrading my original copy which is 40 years old but was wondering if it is worth going for the new version?

Re: 2 Tone Turns 40!!
The 40th anniversary has been cut as a half speed master and is on two vinyl discs making it a double album. This will mean the grooves will be bigger. I have not heard it but I expect it to sound the bollocks.

I don’t need it but I can’t resist it.

Because no one likes Two-Tone. Itll be very popular and I expect there'll be an allotted amount for each seller at first.101Walterton wrote: ↑16 Nov 2019, 3:37pmJust got an email to ask if I still want it as there is no anticipated delivery date yet!!101Walterton wrote: ↑16 Aug 2019, 5:37pm2 Tone is about to turn 40.
