VA : Two Tone The Albums

Label Two Tone Records založil v roce 1979 Jerry Dammers a je svázán především se skupinou The Specials. Jejich dva singly ‘Too Much Too Young’ a ‘Ghost Town’ se dostali až na samou špičku britské hitparády. Ale začínali u něj svou kariéru kupříkladu legendární The Madness nebo The Selecter.
