Further Information

The Selecter's second album, Celebrate The Bullet, was released in February 1981 as the follow up to the successful 2 Tone debut album Too Much Pressure. Switching labels to Chrysalis Records, the band returned to On My Radio producer Roger Lomas, moving into a more melodic slower pace, whilst keeping their lyrical commentary on racial and social issues. Original members Desmond Brown and Charley Anderson departed before the recording began, with Lomas and Norman Watt- Ray (Ian Dury) helping on bass before new members James Mackie and Adam Williams joined to complete the recording. This forgotten classic from the 2 Tone era is a timely reissue and will give time for a re-evaluation.

Staff Recommendations

Hugely under-rated second album by the 2-Tone pioneers. I saw them live in early 1981 around the time of the album's release. My first ever gig - happy memories.
