The People - Musical Man 1981






This 45 was released by the Specials' John Bradbury for his Race Records label. It seems that before the Selecter recorded the LP Celebrate the Bullet, Charlie Anderson (Bass) and Desmond Brown (Organ) left the group and formed The People. According to the sleeve they played together in 1977 in the Coventry reggae band Hard Top 22.

The a-side, Musical Man, was dedicated to Rico Rodriguez.

The B-side link is incorrect. It directs you to "One-Thirty" by the Strange Tenants. Please fix this and keep them coming. I love the obscure vinyl/tape rips.
