On the Skatalites "Hi Bop Ska" CD, the song is credited to Andy & Joey.
By the way, that CD is worth picking up just for Toots' killer version of "Split Personality".

Same tune.
There's a film in existence of the Specials dancing to it round someone's gaff.

The "gaff" in question was I believe the front room of the house where 2 Tone was run from

A "gaff" is also a cock-up, as evidenced in the phrase "I've made a right gaff 'ere!" |

Great footage.

The film was an Arena special on Two Tone. Was that one of the programmes where Pauline Black kept forgetting which accent she should speak in? |
