DESCRIPTION
The Selecter were one of the key bands of the ska revival in the late 70's. They were one of the few racially and sexually integrated bands on the scene. Vocalist Pauline Black wrote about sexism, racism, and social issues. Their debut release was the AA side of the Specials single 'Gangsters' in the summer of 1979, which just consisted of Neol Davies and John Bradbury (of The Specials) before quickly forming a full band by the end of the year. This new 30 track release collects all their recordings made for the BBC, from radio session, in concert and various TV appearances collected together for the first time.
The limited edition vinyl format is a 3LP Standard Weight Black Vinyl in a Rigid Slipcase with printed inners and a 4-page insert and the CD format is a DVD sized Mediabook with 2 CDs and 1 Blu-ray and a 20-page booklet, both featuring new 6000 word liner notes by Simon Price (Melody Make, Curepedia) featuring new band interviews.
