The Specials' debut album, now available in a limited clear vinyl edition with an Obi-strip, is a cornerstone of late 70s/early 80s music. As one of the leading bands on Jerry Dammers' iconic Two Tone Records, The Specials blended Jamaican ska, rocksteady, and punk energy to ignite the ska revival. Originally formed in 1977 as The Coventry Automatics, the group spearheaded a movement that inspired bands like Madness, The Beat, and The Selecter. The album includes classic tracks like 'Gangsters' and 'A Message to You Rudy', which solidified their influence. These songs capture the raw, socially-conscious energy that made The Specials a voice of their generation. Their music, driven by sharp rhythms and infectious brass sections, remains timeless, and this special edition pays homage to a pivotal era in music history. This reissue offers a must-have for both longtime fans and newcomers, encapsulating the rebellious spirit and cultural impact of The Specials' groundbreaking sound.
