Good Evening loveissucide
After Madness left 2Tone and went Stiff they did keep a similar sound for a good while and were still considered part of the 2Tone Furniture. IMO rightly so.
More Specials was good, Very good. A Step beyond the first self titled album. Has some very unusual Tunes on it. "Stereotype" (LP Version) is like an epic story of stupidity and social Commentry with an amazing soundtrack rumbling behind/with it. Neville Staples Compliments Terry Hall brilliantly here. I really grew to love this track. The I still do.

Go the other extreme you got "Enjoy Yourself" on the same album. Class!
