Review

Neol Davies founded the Selecter with the aim of mating punk's manic energy with ska and reggae's steady-throbbing beats. Then he dressed Pauline Black in a suit and porkpie hat and pushed her front and center as lead vocalist. The Selecter were less nihilistic than the Sex Pistols and other punk crews, with a black-white configuration and female singer, and their political stance re the police, the government, and unemployment didn't have to be stated overtly in tunes like "Too Much Pressure," "On My Radio," and their 78 rpm version of Justin Hinds & the Dominos' "Carry Go Bring Come." It was implied. Together with the Specials and other groups, the Selecter fused black and white musical expression, kicking off the "two-tone" ska craze that captured the youth markets in Europe and America with a working-class antiestablishment stance that couldn't be bothered with more contemplative "message" music. In fact, ska's popularity has never died completely; it has merely gone underground now and again, only to force its way back to major record label recognition by virtue of its continually swelling fan pool. --Elena OumanoSelection of their Greatest Hits. 16 Tracks featuring on My Radio, Celebrate Ther Bullet, Three Minute Hero and More.
