Too Much Pressure [Captain Oi!] (Import) by Selecter on CD
First time on CD for this legendary album, originally issued in 1980 at the very peak of the Two Tone label's U.K. fame, and destined for immediate chart success -- the album reached number five in Britain -- a stream of singles kept the group in the Top 30 all year and, just for a moment, Selecter seemed bound for the same pantheon of greatness as had already accepted Madness and the Specials.
