14/02/2026

On this day in 2 Tone history the 14th of February 1981 holds up as the live concert movie film Dance Craze highlighting The Specials,
The Beat.
Bad Manners(Magnet) Madness.
The Selecter.
and The Bodysnatchers.
Some amazing performances.
Now if you have this on Video or you have seen this on YouTube,you will notice somthing that isn't present on the release from the BFI DVD/BLU-RAY version now
Those who have never seen hhe movie and have the formentioned release will notice that Bad Manners do the amazing Inner London violence now follow me ,on the original when the song starts and buster is doing his trade mark by sticking his tongue out there is the snare hit as the intro its single hits with the snare with the pause, now on the BFI version there is snare hit then a really bad audio edit with hit then hit sounds like a a bad splice or skip ,now ever since the BFI Version its really peeved me now if you know you know,check out you tube to find original VHS release,I think I've posted the video before.
