	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.

	The story Of 2Tone
		In the late 70's, ska had spread out to the point where creating a record label dedicated to that type of music in did not seem like such a radical idea.

		It is a drawing of a man dressed in a fl suit, white shirt, fl tie, pork pie hat, white socks, and fl loafers.

	Sepia Tone Records - part of The Birdman Group
		The self-titled third LP by Tony Joe White-- newly remastered for Sepia Tone-- was originally released by Warner Bros. in 1971, a collection of soul-flavored, blues-drenched swamp rock with a few reflective, soul-tinged ballads about life and love thrown in.
		to Warner Bros in 1975, two tunes are lush horn-and-string-orchestra settings; two are meditative, Eastern-sounding pieces; the album is rounded off by her first use of vocals (on "Om Supreme"), and the percussion-heavy, rumba-esque "Los Caballos." As is customary all the tracks feature spiritual annotation and explanation.
		Side two is especially mind-twisting for its use of surprisingly funky Hindu chants accompanied by Alice's organ and the Indian percussion of the singers.

	ed osborn - fidelity high
		Two test tone records designed to calibrate pricey sound systems are transformed into a pair of speakers that broadcast the contents of their own grooves.
		The name of the piece refers both to the audiophile impulse for the contact high resulting from hearing "perfect" sound reproduction and to the nostalgia surrounding such an impulse.
		Here the amplification of the contours of the microgroove to the macromovement of the vinyl fluctuating in space tests not only the fidelity of the sonic object as it reproduces its own sound, it tests our assumptions about the standards which we require our technologies to meet.

	Ska
		The first record I ever bought was 'A Message To You Rudy by The Specials', it was a Christmas present for a school friend and in return he bought me 'On My Radio by The Selecter'.
		I then bought The Specials first LP which at the time seemed to be owned by everybody at school, well anyone at school who had a harrington jacket and tonic trousers and a pair of Doctor Martins on their feet.
		Luckily at the time Trojan records seemed to be releasing the Trojan Explosion EP's so I was able to buy these songs as well as others recorded by the original artists such as Harry J Allstars, The Pioneers and Prince Buster amongst others.

		That was the first band that I actually made records with and we were together for about six years.
		The Mary Chain stuff is all about guitars and lyrics, so two of the tracks on the four track EP have no guitars and no vocals, just the melody.
		I did put a guitar in two of them because it just didn't sound right without having something pinning the chords there, but I didn't do any of the squealing guitars that you associate with the Mary Chain.
