Record Collector interview published

Friday, November 11th, 2011

Yeah.. my interview with Billy Albert finally has been published in Record Collector December issue and made 6 pages on the art of 2 Tone. Bit of a read and informative I think, although got it wrong on the “M” Madness logo and apologies to Brendan Smythe (Chas Smash’s brother) as Brendan designed that logo and I credited Neville Brody (then at Stiff Records) who showed the logo on a print, over a pint one lunch hour. Buy the Record Collector from WH Smith etc or order online: www.recordcollectormag.com

The Specials album poster from yesteryear recreated

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

Someone asked about The Specials Album quad poster and have re-produced it on a matt poster paper for him. Really delighted how this has reproduced. Took a bit of work and retouching and not looking like those cheap scan jobs on eBay. So this Teflon poster design rides again and available now directly from me or soon online www.2toneposters.co.uk… and signed .
