Album Review: The Selecter - Too Much Pressure (Deluxe Edition)

In the grand tradition of British ska, The Selecter burst onto the scene with their debut album "Too Much Pressure" back in 1980. Now, over forty years later, the band is treating fans to a deluxe edition of this timeless classic.

From the first track to the last, "Too Much Pressure" is a rollicking good time, filled with infectious rhythms and socially conscious lyrics. Pauline Black's vocals soar above the ska beats, adding a touch of soul to the band's signature sound. Tracks like "Three Minute Hero" and "Missing Words" are sure to get you skanking like it's 1980 all over again.

But it's not just the original album that makes this deluxe edition a must-have for any Selecter fan. The bonus tracks included in this release offer a deeper look into the band's creative process, with demos and live recordings that showcase the raw talent and energy that made The Selecter stand out from the ska crowd.

Overall, "Too Much Pressure" is a timeless ska masterpiece that deserves a place in every music lover's collection. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to the genre, this deluxe edition is sure to have you dancing along in no time. So go ahead, crank up the volume and let The Selecter's infectious grooves wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
