4.0 out of 5 stars Too Little Two Tone, 10 Feb 2003

By	Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)

Two Tone was the UK's most exciting new musical movement at the start of the 80s. Groups like Madness, The Selecter, The (English) Beat and The Special AKA, all on the Two Tone label, revived the Jamaican ska beat and created a new urgent sound that took youth culture by storm. This is a valuable introduction to the Two Tone beat, but unfortunately anything but complete. In the first place, the Beat is completely absent. The compilers could at least have included their classic version of Tears Of A Clown. In the second place, too many classic tracks have been omitted. Where's "A Message To You Rudy" by The Specials, "Madness" by Madness, The Selecter's eponymous "Selecter" and their well-known "Too Much Pressure?" I also think that Madness is hopelessly underrepresented as they're the band that ultimately achieved the greatest success. At least some of the earliest Two Tone hits are here, like Too Much Too Young, The Prince, On My Radio and Let's Do Rocksteady, plus later classics like The Specials' Nelson Mandela and Ghost Town. It is with some reluctance that I award this album a fourth star. Although it's a very listenable compilation, its title ought more appropriately to have been been "Too Little Two Tone."

4.0 out of 5 stars A collection of ska greats, 21 Oct 2001

By A Customer

It's classic two tone action all the way on this 18-track ska-fest of an album. If you like the Specials, then this is for you. 1/3 of all the tunes are done by them, either under their 'specials' monicker, or thier earlier name, 'the special a.k.a.'. A Selector cover of the James Bond theme tune is skank-tastic, while madness's 'the prince' is great too. get your black suit on and skank the night away with 'too much two tone: ska classics'.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much of poor Ska!, 10 April 2006

By A Customer

Knowing little about Ska but hearing artists like Erykah Badu & Steve Marley I thought I would purchase this album hoping for Ska heaven! But in turned out to be an anti-climax with little imagination! Although there are few tracks I would recommend...Too Much Too Young is good and Ghost Town but apart from that everything else is slightly experimental in the first movement of ska.
