The Compact 2 Tone Story


"The Compact 2 Tone Story" is a compilation 4 CD box set, released in 1993 on Chrysalis and Two-Tone Records.
The box set collects the A-side and B-side of every single released on the label.
Both sides of the Dutch Concrete Jungle single plus both tracks from the free single which accompanied initial copies of More Specials are also included. The Bodysnatchers live version of 007 is the only unreleased track in the set, however it did previously appear in the film Dance Craze, but failed to make it on to the films soundtrack album.
Each of the CDs comes in its own mini 2 Tone sleeve and an A5 version of George Marshalls book The Two Tone Story is also included.
