Ska legend Rico started his career in the late ’50s playing with the likes of Prince Buster, Laurel Aitken and Max Romeo as a session musician in addition to creating his own recordings. He moved to the UK in the early ’60s and continued performing live and playing as a session musician. He signed to Island Records in the ’70s, releasing his first solo albums. In 1979 Rico met Jerry Dammers and began playing with The Specials. He became an honorary member of the band and featured prominently on some of their most famous tracks, along with Dick Cuthell, which produced a distinctive sound.

In 1980 he released his first album for the 2 Tone label, That Man is Forward. Produced by Dick Cuthell and recorded in Jamaica over two sessions in Joe Gibbs studio, the album is a celebration of Jamaican musicians playing together and includes contributions from Jah Jerry, ‘Deadley’ Headley Bennet, Robbie Lyn, Sly & Robbie and Ansel Collins. This new remaster celebrates it’s 40th anniversary and is released as part of the ongoing 2 Tone ’40th Anniversary’ releases. 180g vinyl LP with 3mm spined sleeve, printed inner and bellyband.
