The Specials Specials Chrysalis Records CD

The Specials More Specials Reissue and remastered version of the legendary 2-tone / ska band The Specials 1980 album More Specials. This album contains the 2014/2015 remastered versions of the tracks. More Specials was a hit in the two-tone movement, a late-1970s revival of Jamaican ska from the 1960s. Along with bands like the Bodysnatchers and Madness, The Specials were leaders in this revival, and later heroes for two further ska-punk revivals on the opposite side of the Atlantic: the late 1980s Southern California scene (NOFX, Operation Ivy) and the mid-1990s "third wave of ska" (Sublime, No Doubt) which popularised the mixture in the US.

The Specials / The Coventry Automatics Dawning Of A New Era A compilation album from The Specials, focusing on the early John Peel recordings from the group. Back in 1978, THE COVENTRY AUTOMATICS headed into the studio to record some demos in an effort to secure a record deal. It didn’t happen, but within months the band had renamed themselves THE SPECIALS and set up their own label called 2 TONE and a movement was born and the rest is history! Of the 13 songs which appear on the release only Wake Up, Look But Don't Touch and Jay Walker failed to make it on to any official release and were dropped from the bands live set early in their career. The remainder of the tracks offer embryonic versions of tracks which make up the bulk of the bands first album. Rock and Roll Nightmare would later appear on the bands More Specials under the name Pearls Cafe albeit with slightly different lyrics. The track Raquel appeared on the b-side of the Dutch Concrete Jungle single and later was released in session version as part of the BBC Radio Sessions album. Free Range LP

The Specials Live At the Moonlight Club Expected 4th August Remastered reissue and now avaialble on heavyweight vinyl with a brand sleeve cover. This is a brilliant live set by the legendary Specials recorded in Hampstead in 1979 Rhino Records LP

The Specials The Specials Repress of an absolute classic album, the debut from 2-tone/ska legends The Specials. The Specials’ landmark, 14-track-strong debut album ‘The Specials’, produced by Elvis Costello, declared their intentions loud and clear with a rare blend of furious energy and no-nonsense, hard-hitting lyrics. In essence a studio recording of their live set, the album comprises mostly originals with a few covers of ska classics thrown in for good measure, including their fabulous take on Dandy Livingstone's ‘A Message to You Rudy’, an equally stellar version of the Maytals' ‘Monkey Man’, and a sizzling take on Prince Buster's ‘Too Hot’. Features: the vicious ‘Nite Klub’, with its unforgettable line, “All the girls are slags and the beer tastes just like piss”; ‘Blank Expression’, which extended the misery into unwelcoming pubs‘; ‘Concrete Jungle’, capturing the fear and violence that stalked the inner cities; the personal ‘It's Up To You’, a message to those who disliked the group and its stance, and a rallying cry for supporters; ‘Too Much Too Young’, showing the Specials' disdain for teen pregnancy and marriage; ‘It Doesn't Make It Alright’, delivering a heartfelt plea against racism, and the rocksteady-esque yearning of ‘You're Wondering Now’.
