I'm thrilled to get a copy of TOO MUCH TOO YOUNG!
Growing up, 2 Tone defined how I saw the world. That you could dance, look good & be educated by a record was incredible; a movement of great songwriters musicians & songs: we danced & sang, & the music played in a de boomtown!

The reaction to the publication announcement last week was fantastic...thank you if you have pre-ordered a copy. It may already be an Amazon No.1 Bestseller.... but the independent record shops have the advantage of 4 special postcards and a signed edition....!

You may also enjoy my conversation with Lee Mavers in Isle of Noises. The hardback is sadly now out of print, and I am told there are only 82 copies left of the paperback.
