Dance Craze
Dance Craze is a 1981 music documentary about the British 2 Tone ska era. The film was directed by Joe Massot, who originally wanted to do a film only about the band Madness. Massot later changed his plans to include the whole 2 Tone movement.
The film, shot in 1980, comprised performance footage of Madness, The Specials, The Selecter, The Bodysnatchers, The Beat and Bad Manners on tour throughout the United Kingdom. The film was distributed by Chrysalis/Nu Image Films.
A soundtrack album was released the same year, featuring fifteen of the songs that were featured in the film. Later versions of the soundtrack album do not contain the Madness tracks, adding tracks credited to The Special AKA.
"Dance Craze" is a compilation album, released in 1981 on Two-Tone Records. The album was reissued in 1989 on Two-Tone Records.
