The 2 Tone sound was a great period in the a]ermath of Punk and included
influences taken from Jamaican Ska. Mal-One had already worked on some Two Tone
collages and had them put aside for some future project. He thought it would be fun
to record some tracks related to these images and sounds. The first track he recorded
was an instrumental track in the style of Harry J All Stars ‘Liquidator’ which he called
‘Rude Boy Shuffle’. Inigally to be put out as a stand alone track on some reggae label
of some sort. He had a poem already which he called ‘Two Tone Story’, so put that on
top of the ‘Ska Train Is Back In Town’ rhythm which he had put together for another
song of that name. Finally ‘Rude Boys and Rude Girls Listen Up! ‘came together.
Adding to this a couple of dub mixes and we have a 6 track 12”. Mal-One thought the
artwork worked beKer on a 12” format.
Hope you enjoy the outcome.
