Description

The story of 2 Tone Records is one of legendary music and innovation. Founded in 1979 by Jerry Dammers, the label brought together punk, ska, and reggae to create something new and exciting. With hits from bands like Madness, The Selecter, and The Beat, 2 Tone Records had a remarkable run, producing 15 Top 40 singles. However, as time moved on, the label branched out into other genres, signing non-ska bands in the 1980s. Despite its eventual closure in 1986, the legacy of 2 Tone Records lives on. In "2 Tone: Before, During & After", author Lee Morris tells the surprising stories behind every 2 Tone release, covering all the musicians who ever appeared on the label. This book is a comprehensive guide to the history of 2 Tone Records, with detailed band bios, discographies, and updates on where the musicians are now. With over 200 pages of information, it's an essential resource for anyone interested in the music of this iconic label.
