Iconic ska legends the Selecter have announced that they will celebrate their 35th anniversary with an extensive UK tour in February, March and April 2014, performing their seminal debut album 'Too Much Pressure' in its entirety for the first time.
Released on the legendary 2-Tone label, ‘'Too Much Pressure'’ was a Top 5 selling album featuring a host of classics, including Three Minute Hero, Missing Words and Too Much Pressure - all of which were released on Top 40 charting singles.
The Too Much Pressure Tour will also feature an extended encore of hits and live favourites from across the bands 35-year back catalogue, including their debut 1979 Top 10 hit, ‘On My Radio’, right up to the this years acclaimed ‘String Theory’.
Pauline Black said:
"We thought our 35th anniversary would be the perfect time to revisit our very first album Too Much Pressure and perform it in full...for the very first time! We can't wait to get on the road to bring our message of multiculturalism from across 4 decades to venues up and down the land. See you there!"
