Great band .. Great song .. Great singer ( Love Pauline ! ) .. This was the first song by The Selecter that I heard, and it's always been my favourite .. Their whole "Too Much Pressure" debut album is wonderful, and apart from this gem, some other very good songs from it are "Missing Words", "Time Hard", "Three Minute Hero", and the title track .. Another enjoyable reaction, Sue .. Cheers, Wayne

Thanks Wayne! I love all the songs you mentioned. Another one of their's that I love is the cover of Carry Go Bring Come. They are such a great band...one of my favourites 😍

@playitagainsue Yes, that's another good song, Sue .. IMHO, their next album "Celebrate The Bullet" was not up to the extremely high standard of "Too Much Pressure", but it was still good music, and I quite liked the title track in particular .. I'll have to refresh on this album though, to remember the other ones I most liked from it.

@wayne_twentyfive I agree their earlier stuff was better but they had so many good songs 😊

I had a major crush on Pauline when I was a kid ❤❤❤😊 The SKA 2 Tone had a great influence on UK Society, bringing black and white together through music. It was a great time for us growing up despite the poverty and economic slump

Hi Sue, The Selector are a band who came from the area in London where I live. They still play live in a local pub once in a while. Pauline Black is still the lead singer. They were a fun band & enjoyable to watch & listen to.

Hi Dave, they would be a blast to see in a pub. I would love to see them in that small environment. They would have the place jumpin' 😃💜

Hi Sue .. Just heard the sad news that Arthur "Gaps" Hendrickson from The Selecter has passed away .. He was the other main vocalist in the group, apart from Pauline Black, and was integral to their sound .. He was 73 and was suffering from cancer .. RIP to another one of the great artists we grew up with.

Hey Fred, I had no idea there was a division in the band and now there is 2. Wonder how that will work out. Thanks for that 🤩
