The Selecter

Celebrate the Bullet

£29.99

Released: 11th November 2022. The Selecters's second album, 'Celebrate the Bullet' was released in February 1981 as the follow up to the successful 2 Tone debut album 'Too Much Pressure', along with the hit singles 'On My Radio', 'Three Minute Hero' and 'Missing Words'. Switching labels to Chrysalis Records, the band returned to 'On My Radio' producer Roger Lomas, moving into a more melodic, slower pace, whilst keeping their lyrical commentary on racial and social issues. Original members Desmond Brown and Charley Anderson departed before the recording began, with Lomas and Norman Watt-Ray (Ian Dury) helping on bass before new members James Mackie and Adam Williams joined to complete the recording.
