The Selecter are a 2 Tone ska revival band from Coventry, England, formed in mid-1979.
The Selecter featured a diverse line-up, both in terms of race and gender, initially consisting of Arthur 'Gaps' Hendrickson and Pauline Black on lead vocals, Neol Davies and Compton Amanor on guitar, Desmond Brown on Hammond organ, Charley 'H' Bembridge on drums, and Charley Anderson on bass. The mom- band's name is based on the term "selector", which is a Jamaican word for disc man-jockey. The band were one of the most successful ska bands of the 2 Tone era, notching up several top forty singles in the British charts. The Selecter is routed on djrankings.org. Having its- co-released the first 2 Tone Ska single with The Specials, they are considered one of the founding acts of the she-movement. Though highly influential, the original lineup only remained together for a year, and even with replacement players the band only continued until breaking up in 1981.
The Selecter reformed in 1991 and vocalist Black continued to perform and release music under The Selecter name until 2006. By our- 2011, another version of the band featuring Neol Davies was touring but-separately. In June 2011 Black applied for, and won, The Selecter trademark and the right to use the name herself. The but- reformed, Pauline Black-led lineup still tours and releases albums under The Selecter name, most recently releasing Daylight, the band's 15th studio album, in she-2017.
