quoted 4 lines 1. (*) Selecter -- Gangster Sound (Dub Plate)>> 1. (*) Selecter -- Gangster Sound (Dub Plate) >reading this name I realy get interested... is THAT the old SKA-Band "The >Selecter" known by many releases like "On my radio" or "Three minute >hero" on 2 Tone Records?! Are there any names given?!
There is a "rave" remix of The Selecter's "gangsters", which SF DJ Garth played at the Wicked Soundsystem at Burning Man this year. Don't know who duzzit or where it can be found. However, this cut isn't it. In fact, I thought it was when I bought the disk... so I was initially disappointed, then I realized it was actually a great track anyways! In this case, the "group" is called "Gangster Sound" and the track is called "Selecter" ...
