EVEN MORE PRESSURE!

EVEN MORE PRESSURE!

Coventry ska legends THE SELECTER's classic debut album is to get a new expanded reissue.

Initially released in February 1980 , Too Much Pressure was the second long-player to emerge on the 2 Tone label, coming just four months after THE SPECIALS' self-titled debut.

Rising to No.5 in the album charts, the album featured the Top 30 hits 'Three Minute Hero' and 'Missing Words'.

As part of a 2 Tone reissues programme from the recently relaunched Chrysalis label, the album is to be re-released as a 3-CD box set, comprising the original 12-track album and stand-alone singles 'The Selecter' and the Top 10 'On My Radio' as well as a Peel Session, live tracks, outtakes and other previously unreleased rarities. The set is completed by a booklet with sleevenotes by author Daniel Rachel.

At the same time, Chrysalis will be releasing a half-speed mastered 45rpm edition of the album on black or clear vinyl, with a bonus 7" of 'On My Radio'. Both versions are set for release on 23 April.
