Too Much Pressure by The Selecter (Vinyl, 2021, Chrysalis). Condition is "New". Clear vinyl 12" and 7" with bonus white label exclusive 7" single. Additional seperate obi strip with correct spelling.

THE SELECTER’s debut album ‘Too Much Pressure’ was originally released in February 1980, to critical acclaim and launched the band onto the world stage.

Releasing their debut release was the AA side with The Special AKA’s ‘Gangsters’, which launched Jerry’s Dammers 2 tone Record label in the summer of 1979. At the time the band only consisted of Neol Davies and John Bradbury (later of The Specials) before quickly forming a full band by the summer of 1979. They released the follow up single, ‘On My Radio’, which reached No. 6 in the UK charts before releasing their debut album in February 1980. Three further hit singles were released in 1980, ‘Three Minute Hero’, ‘Missing Words’ and ‘The Whisper'.

Limited edition 180gm clear vinyl edition, with bonus 7" single of 'On My Radio' single remastered from the original production tapes by Alchemy Mastering and cut at half-speed. 

The album is presented on 180g clear vinyl. It has been half-speed remastered at AIR studios Alchemy Mastering for superior high frequency response (treble) and very solid and stable stereo image. In short, this album has never sounded better.

In addition to the album, a copy of the band's debut single "On My Radio"/"Too Much Pressure" on 40g clear vinyl is included. 

A 7" 4-song White Label ep featuring rough mixes of four songs recorded at Hemel Hempstead in 1980, which was free to customers who pre-ordered the album from the band's official online store, is also included. It didn't come shrink-wrapped. It comes in a white, die-cut, heavy card sleeve.  

Finally, the original "obi-strip" features a spelling mistake in "Anniversary" (Annivarsary). A second, brand new and unused obi-strip featuring the corrected spelling, is also included.

The items are brand new and sealed. The White Label EP was not shrink wrapped and was included separately from the album.

The items will be securely packaged in cardboard mailer with cardboard inserts for extra strength.
