2 Tone at its peak ('79 - '81) released 17 singles and all but 2 of them made the national charts. It was not uncommon for singles on the label to reach sales figures in excess of 250,000. Given such numbers its maybe not that surprising that there were a few misshapes at the pressing plants. Below are listed such anomalies and general pressing mistakes which occurred. Although these may seem trivial they do make things interesting for the collector. As always we welcome any additional items not listed.

Gangsters/The Selecter TT1/TT2
Start as you mean to go on seems to have been the motto at the pressing plant which handled 2 Tone releases. Two separate mispresses exist for the label's debut: one with the Gangsters labels on both sides and the other with The Selecter labels on both sides.

The Prince CHSTT3
The first of the mysterious blue plastic labels.

On My Radio CHSTT4
Another appearance of a blue plastic label.

A Message to you Rudy CHSTT5
A double 'a' side on the label but a small number of pressings list both sides incorrectly as Nite Klub.

Too Much Too Young CHSTT7
Although this was the labels first EP and is marked on the paper label pressing as such, some paper label pressings omitted this fact. The catalogue number is also displayed within the white section paper label on these pressings.

Three Minute Hero CHSTT8
This single is identified again as an EP with the EXTENDED PLAY text probably accidentally left on the label from the previous release Too Much Too Young. A batch of paper labels also has the James Bond labels printed on both sides.

Lets do Rocksteady CHSTT9
Some paper label pressings have Ruder Than You listed on both sides. The grey plastic label version also has some copies pressed as 'PEOPLE do Rocksteady'. Also the reissue grey labels marked Made in France list the band simply as 'Bodysnatchers'.

NOTE. These 2 Tone grey labels, which are marked 'Made In France', are NOT the French issues of the singles. They are in fact the reissues that were available in the early 80s. All non-UK 2 Tone releases were handled directly by Chrysalis. There is also a batch of paper label pressings with 'Ruder Than You' listed on both sides.

Missing Words CHSTT10
The Selecter's last single for the label was listed as 'Nissing Words' on the grey reissue.

Do Nothing CHSTT16
The grey plastic label reissue includes the addition of the 'Ice Rirk Strirg Sourds..'

Ghost Town CHSTT17
Some paper labels display the catalogue number in the white section of the label. The plastic label version also made an appearance in blue.

Braggin And Trying Not To Lie CHSTT999
Included with the first issue of More Specials LP as a free single because of lack of space on the album, the single clearly states 'Free Single Not For Sale'. However pressings appeared which failed to include this text.
