The Specials – Specials

Mon, Feb 22, 2010

Ska, Ska/Punk

I told you I was going to post a Ska album, and it can’t get much more ska than this. The Specials are a British band formed in 1977 in Coventry, England. In 1979, their debut LP hit the shelves and quickly soared into the U.K. Top Five. The album was produced by Elvis Costello and was released under founding member, Jerry Dammer’s record label 2 Tone Records. Following the success of their debut album, Specials, their second and final album, More Specials was released. This expanded the group’s 2 tone sound to include lounge music and other influences.

    The playlist on this album is messed up – there are a couple of duplicate tracks. This error has criminally robbed me of being able to listen to Too Much Too Young! Boo! ;D

    Great site though! Keep it up and I will continue coming here every day :)
