2 Tone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The term 2 Tone was coined by Jerry Dammers of the Specials from Coventry and summed up the West Midlands scene at that time. |
 | | The name that Dammers chose for his label had two meanings: It referred both to the fl-and-white suits favored by ska-loving "rude boys", and it symbolized solidarity between fls and whites at a time when racial tensions among the British working class were at an all-time high. |
 | | The logo was based on an early album cover picture of Peter Tosh (which itself was inspired by a photograph of The Impressions), and with the signature fl and white checks dropped in for good measure, Walt Jabsco was born. |
