Specials album for sale Product Description
Specials album for sale by Specials was released Jun 16, 2009 on the Virgin label. Produced by Elvis Costello, this self-titled 1979 debut quickly became gospel to the wave of ska then sweeping England. Infusing the catchy, jumpy music developed by artists like the Skatalites and Prince Buster a generation before them with punk's youthful disenfranchisement, bands like the Specials, the Selecter and Madness gave birth to a movement, one which strove for such noble goals as racial unity (then a particularly sore issue in Britain) and non-violence. Specials CD music contains a single disc with 15 songs. ...See Full Description

| Ska's Second Wave from the UK Nice album made in the late 1970s and early 1980s from a group of young men from England who reminded people how cool ska music is. By Byron (Chicago, IL) This review is for a different format. |
| If you want 1 album of 80s Ska, THIS IS IT !! When you can listen to an album years down the track and still get a rush like the first time, you know that it truly merits 5 STARS (unlike most 5 star reviews!). All the best hits that 'made' this band are on this LP, including Message to You Rudi, Gangsters, & Nite Klub. ) Add driving stompers like Concrete Jungle and Dawning of a New Era, and slower songs such as You're Wondering Now, and you have a great slice of what 80s ska had to offer. Highly recommended! By Les C (Sydney, Australia) This review is for a different format. |
| Awesome cd. Great ska from the UK. They were one of the best. This is just a fun cd, and like the ones by Madness, the Selecter (the best in my opinion) and the English Beat -- they are just as fresh now as when they came out. By George (New Jersey) This review is for a different format. |
