Sent From Coventry:
The Chequered Past of Two Tone
by Richard Eddington

The first detailed analysis and history of the music phenomenon called Two Tone, a movement led by bands such as The Specials, The Selecter, Bad Manners, Madness and The Beat. Sent From Coventry examines the early years of the characters central to the embryonic Two Tone scene set in a grainy. monochrome world of pre-Thatcherite Britain. The author was at the heart of the scene and regularly found himself in the company of key individuals, and is therefore perfectly placed to chronicle this most fascinating of movements. Includes previously unseen photographs from the private collections of band members.
