Not 100% certain these are all strictly 2 tone but they are top of my ska playlist so i dedicate them to the cherished memory of 101.

Madness - Razor Blade Alley
Special AKA - Nelson Mandela
Bad Manners - Lip Up Fatty
Specials - A Message To You Rudy
Madness - Disappear
Rules are for fools this week mate. I only chose the Two Tone label as 101 was an avid collector. But it's all good here.👍
Ah yeah, i just recalled the topic of Bad Manners and 2 tone actually cropped up a while back and 101w explaining, if memory serves, that there was some connection at least with the early stuff but not the later. But it's close enough anyway i Think!
Think just the live tracks from the Dance Craze movie were released by Chrysalis on the Two Tone label. Bad Manners were signed to Magnet.

Yeah, the Dance Craze soundtrack is where I pulled a couple of my picks from. Sort of appropriate that they just reissued it for record store day.

101 and I watched it in the ABC cinema in Reading. We were in the cinema on the same day watching and skanking in the isles. The whole place was jumping. That's a great memory.

Yet we didn't know each other until this place.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Explain yourself.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

It's a lovely mess on an album full of lovely messes. It's certainly not good, but it has a sloppy charm.

It's got Paul and Kosmo. I fail to see how it could be better.
