The Selecter - Celebrate The Bullet - Deluxe Edition - 2022 Remaster - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Three CDs. Digitally remastered and expanded edition. Too Much Pressure is the first album by British ska band The Selecter. The album was released in February 1980 on 2 Tone records. The record was commercially successful, charting at number 5 in the United Kingdom. The record's singles, InchThree Minute HeroInch and InchMissing WordsInch, made the top 25 of the UK Singles Chart. The album was also critically successful, and has had lasting praise in the ensuing years. This new Deluxe Edition of 'Too Much Pressure' has been expanded to a 3CD set. CD1 contains a new remaster of the original album. CD2 collects all the non-album singles, b-sides, John Peel session and some previously unreleased rarities. CD3 features a newly mixed concert recorded at Tiffany's in Coventry on the Two Tone Tour in November 1979, along with some tracks recorded in 1980. This has been packaged in a clamshell box set with a 20 page booklet featuring new liner notes from Daniel Rachel, including interviews with band members and the producers involved.

Limited 180gm clear viny LP pressing. 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. Due to unfortunate timing of the original , the title of this album was misunderstood because of the then recent murder of John Lennon and an assassination attempt on U.S. President Ronald Regan. This meant radio stations didn't support the single or album and the was largely ignored. This forgotten classic from the 2 Tone era is a timely reissue and will give time for a re-evaluation in the same way the 2021's reissue of Too Much Pressure showed the band as relevant.
