Between 1979 and 1981 Two Tone Records, a tiny label in Coventry, sold millions of records and became a focal point for racial and gender equality.

Pete Mitchell tells the story of this groundbreaking label that launched the careers of The Specials, Madness, The Selector and The Beat; and reflected the social and political discontent of the early 1980s.

With contributions from Terry Hall and Horace Panter from The Specials, Suggs from Madness, Pauline Black from The Selector and Rhoda Dakar from The Bodysnatchers, this week's Revolutions In Music is not to be missed.

Listen to the full documentary above.
