    I happily stumbled upon this release (I didn’t know an extended deluxe edition had been released) while researching original releases on Discogs and all I can say is that it’s awesome! I discovered 2 Tone and British Ska via a VHS cassette of the movie my friend lent me back in 1985 and my first 2 Tone record was the soundtrack. I’m so happy to have all the songs from the movie finally on vinyl, which sounds great!

            This is certainly a deluxe version of Dance Craze.
            Great packaging and quality vinyl. Love the double sided poster. The best release so far since chrysalis have resurrected the 2 Tone label.
            Keep them coming please. What next? Bodysnatchers album.....Specials in Dub album.......fingers crossed.
