Too Much Too Soon - The 2-Tone story by Author Daniel Rachel

Available for over a year

In 1979, 2 Tone exploded into the national conscience as records by The Specials, The Selecter, Madness, The Beat, and The Bodysnatchers burst onto the charts and a youth movement was born. Now you can learn more about the movement in a new book by author Daniel Rachel. He's been speaking to BBC CWRs Vic Minett.
