The Specials - The Specials

1LP - 180g Clear Vinyl, OBI

The Specials are one of the defning bands of the late 70's/early 80's along with Jerry Dammers' iconic label Two Tone Records. Originally formed in 1977 as The Coventry Automatics, The Specials combined Jamaican ska and Rocksteady mixed with the energy of punk and launched a whole Ska Revival which helped fellow like-minded bands Madness, The Beat and The Selecter to release their first singles

The Specials first single, 'Gangsters', was released in May 1979 with independent distribution by Rough Trade and the initial pressing of just 5,000 records sold out. The band and label soon signed with Chrysalis Records who picked up on the release of 'Gangsters.' The next single, 'A Message To You Rudy', followed in September with their first album released soon after in October

Tracks: A Message To You Rudy / Do the Dog / It's Up To You / Nite Klub /
Doesn't Make It Alright / Concrete Jungle / Too Hot / Monkey Man / (Dawning Of
A) New Era / Blank Expression / Stupid Marriage / Too Much Too Young / Little
Bitch / You're Wondering Now
