This thread refuses to die... it's kinda like the Beat.

I'm suprised at all the interest in the 2-Tone ska/reggae bands as of late. I've never took them off my turntable for the past 30 years... even in 1990 when they were selling cut-out vinyl albums by "English" Beat, General Public and Fun Boy Three, Special AKA, and Fine Young Cannibal for 22 cents per pound at the local record emporium.

Apparently a lot of other folks were as devoted to the old 2 Tone bands as I was. Their music, fashion sensibility and their punk attitude is timeless and has aged well over the decades.
