The Selecter - Celebrate The Bullet LP
SKU: CHRX1306
Description:
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. 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. Due to unfortunate timing, upon
release the title of this album was misunderstood due to the recent
murder of John Lennon and an assassination attempt on U.S.
President Ronald Regan meant radio stations didn’t support the
single or album and the release was largely ignored.
This forgotten classic from the 2 Tone era is a timely reissue and
will give time for a re- evaluation in the same way the 2021’s
reissue of too Much Pressure showed the band as relevant.
Remastered by Alchemy Mastering At AIR from the original production
tapes.
