Specials, Specials, 1979 on Two-Tone

Ska greats The Specials (later renamed The Special AKA) in their debut full length on Coventry label Two-Tone, started by Jerry Dammers (of the Specials).

The Specials included Terry Hall, Neville Staple, Dammers, Lynval Golding, Roddy Radiation, Horace Panter, John Bradbury, Dick Cuthell and Rico Rodriguez.

This album was produced by Elvis Costello, and features some covers: “Monkey Man”, “Too Hot”, and “A Message To You, Rudy” had all been done by Jamaican artists. (Rico Rodriguez had planned on the original 15 years earlier as well!)

My copy is a 2017 pressing of the 2014 “digital remaster” – sounds great.
