About
celebrate the bullet was the second album by British ska band The Selecter. It was released in 1981 on Chrysalis Records after the band had left the Two Tone label.

Ian Dury and the Blockheads bassist Norman Watt-Roy played bass on the title track. Band members Charley Anderson and Desmond Brown left the band after the release of 'The Whisper' to form the band The People. They were replaced by keyboard player, James Mackie, and bass player, Adam William. The Celebrate the Bullet liner notes are by George Marshall and include pictures of many rare overseas singles' sleeve. The album was reissued on CD in 2001 by Captain Mod Record. .
