If Music Could Talk

So my next project is to complete the Two Tone Records discogrpahy. Not an easy (or cheap) but it will give me something to do and will feed my OCD habit.
I have completed an audit of my record collection and discovered several missing from the collection I previously had so the task is even bigger than I thought. I am starting with the 7" singles and my first port of call is here. Does anyone have any Two Tone singles hidden away in a box in the attic gathering dust?
Happy to buy / trade whatever is out there????

I'll check to see if I have any left. I sold off a lot of vinyl earlier this year. I sold some two tone singles but can't remember what is left in the boxes there are around 400-500 singles left. If I have any I'll send you them.

You can have them for free mate. Maybe you can arrange for your big sis to collect. But they are yours if you want them. NO ARGUMENT!

Thanks Marky.

I have The Beat and FB3 singles thanks.

No Didn't realise it was TT31 but I would love to have that I have never seen it before??

hello.
I only collect certain records, but now and again I'll pick up something from a boot sale just because.
I have nothing out of the ordinary two tone wise
These are all in two tone sleeves apart from the boiler and too much too young.
A couple are paper labels but mostly not. Like I said nothing out of the ordinary.

Specials Gangsters TT1
Specials Rat race TT11
Specials do nothing TT16
Specials Boiler TT18
Madness The prince TT3
Selector On my radio TT4
Specials Message to you rudi TT5
Beat Tears of a clown TT6
specials too much too young TT7
Bodysnatchers Lets do rock steady TT9

Not worth anything to me, and probably not much interest to you either, but there if you want them?

Definately interested in some of those thank you. I had all the early TR singles but over time they have been lost / stolen. There are some in that list I need. I will check my list and PM you thanks.

just pm your address and ill send them on.
this is in return for the thermonuclear pie post from 6 years ago. no charge.

Just picked up a paper label edition of Rico's Sea Cruise TT15 and the first Higson's 7" on Two Tone TT21

Might have to start saving for Elvis Costello's withdrawn TT7 single but would rather find a copy of Gangsters with the hand stamped cover TT1
