When Two Tone happened in the Uk, The Specials, The Beat etc I started to give it a serious look, I'd always liked Bob Marley and bought his records, same with Yellowman, but British reggae acts, at that time few and far between except for Steel Pulse and Aswad, of course there was UB40 later on, and even tho mentioning them mite raise a few eyebrows at least they introduced that genre to many people. But up here, at that time being miles away from anything, e.g circa Carry Out Feelings, it was all that we had apart from radio.
