@@gazcook6218 I know Gaz, I didn't say he was singing, I said he was discovered whilst in the band playing live. He may have sung it at a gig. Who knows, but it's a terrible loss for all fans of the 2Tone movement and The Specials
R.I.P. Terry Hall
Rip Terry Hall !
R.I.P Terry hall

Still can’t believe he’s gone. Rest in peace, Terry.
i officially declare this song in the top twenty greatest punk songs of all time.

Absolutely my dear friend. Heard it first on Peel, under the bedcover, aged 13. Stayed in my head, never knew who it was.. Till then years ago..heard it on sound of the 70 's....BBC radio 2....Sunday afternoon job.. Found out it was The Squad. With Terry out of Special's from Coventry. Just up the road. .. Never knew...
R I P ,TERRY HALL AND GUS CHAMBERS
played bass with them at a one off gig at Busters when Gus came back for holiday from America. one of my favourite gig memories. Brilliant band,
I have this single. Always loved this track. A mate of mine Rob played drums for them at one point. Was a great time in Coventry
RIP Terry hall. God this guy was making unbelievable music even before The Specials. This is absolutely superb.
Used to hear this in the Crown and Barbarellas, Birmingham..Great punk band !! :-))

There's a Kvekertok (A current Oslo band .) song that I'd swear they bit that exquisite little high guitar lick from .
Great song Great band. Coventry band

RIP Gus and Terry
The "shout red alert" hook on this song is straight fire.
definitely gus singing this....god rest his soul
A great punk track I'd not ever heard before...
This is one of the best punk songs ever
R.i.p. Terry..!!
And our Mark is still rocking it on the drums from time to time down here in Cornwall with us !!! You can see him in my video, 2011 Gig For Thirza
Terry Hall RIP
the memories.....even have the single in mint condition
Gus recorded a cd under the band name Squad 21 from around 2004 I think? It’s well worth tracking down. I sawSquad21 play at the dome in morecambe they were fantastic! R.I.P. Gus

I remember I first met gig at a gig on Cov, I charged him and he was like "do you know who I am ?" and took the stamp off me and stamped me in the forehead with it, gave me the stamp back and walked in without paying haha!
@ISawRed123 No this is the late Gus, who took over from Terry Hall. I don't think Hall ever recorded with them.
Terry hall was a punk rocker rip
WOWWWWWW!! Qué buen ritmo Broo!! Sound's Cool!!
RIP Gary...
classic tune
Nice. Better than all that fake blue beat/skank stuff.
Me mum's name was Alice Petch - Not that it makes us relatives or drummers ;P
lowkey sounds like the dead kennedys
Pretty sure Terry never recorded anything with them, so this must be Gus Chambers.
