Overview

2 Tone Records

The inaugural issue centres Jerry Dammers and gives The Specials a lead feature explicitly framed around 2 Tone; the cover identifies Dammers as a 'special Special'.

The 2 Tone archive documents the label's 1979–1985 UK discography, including The Specials, The Selecter, Madness and The Beat, while its Specials history identifies Dammers as the label's creator/designer.

Why it matters

2 Tone Records is retained as a TMR relationship because accession evidence directly identifies it in connection with a preserved Magazines object.
