Brummie Author's Two-tone celebration
Available for over a year
A new book all about the legendary record label 2-tone is out today. In 1979, 2 Tone exploded into the music space as records by The Beat, The Specials and The Selector burst onto the charts and a youth movement was born. 2 Tone was black and white: a multi-racial force of British and Caribbean island musicians singing about social issues, racism, class and gender struggles. Birmingham's Daniel Rachel is the author of the new book - Too Much Too Young.
