This Are Two Tone2 Tone Records CHR TT 5007, 1983 We’re having a bit of a clearout of stuff at home so I’ve put my usual eBay sales of art and ephemera mostly to one side for a few weeks. I’ve got a large personal collection of vinyl, lots of which I don’t play any more, so one of the things I will be selling is records. If you would like to see the others that are currently live on eBay, please click on View Other Items above. For those who don’t know this album, it is a kind of cross between “2 Tone’s Greatest Hits” and “2 Tone - The Rarities”. On the one hand, it includes some of the biggest selling of 2 Tone singles such as: the Specials’ Ghost Town and Gangsters (as the Special AKA); The Selecter’s On My Radio; Madness by Madness; and The Beat’s version of Tears of a Clown. On the other hand, it also has tracks that made almost no impact on the record-buying public, such as the Swinging Cats’ Mantovani; Jungle Music by Rico Rodriguez and the rather unsettling The Boiler by Rhoda Dakar. The record has some very faint surface marks but plays all the way through on both sides with no audible problems at all. The sleeve and labels are in nice clean condition. There were two versions of the sleeve to this album, one with a blue background to the design on the front and the other with a pink background. I don’t know if one version is more common than the other. UK Postage and packing: £4.00 International postage and packing: Postage charges to international destinations are given below. All postage prices quoted (UK and international) are maximum charges. If postage and packing costs less than these estimates, I will refund the difference after posting (subject to the difference being £1.00 or more. Unless otherwise indicated, the postage prices I give in the listing are for a tracked and signed-for service, as required by eBay. If however, winning buyers would prefer cheaper options, I am always happy to help with that if I can. Please contact me for a quote. I hope this description has given you enough to go on but should you require any further information, or more images, please do e-mail. Please also look carefully at the hi-res photos – they are part of the description. Thanks for your interest in this auction and good luck if you decide to bid. Please note: I will not respond to requests to close the auction early regardless of the value of the offer made. Ending early is contrary to both the principle and spirit of an auction. It is also unfair to other eBayers who may be watching the auction intending to bid at a later time. Ska revival blue beat bluebeat reggae rock steady rocksteady the bodysnatchers
