Specials (40th Anniversary Half-speed Master)

The Specials are one of the defining bands of the late 70â‚¬s/early 80â‚¬s along with Jerry Dammersâ‚¬ 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, â‚¬ËœGangstersâ‚¬, 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 â‚¬ËœGangsters.â‚¬ The next single, â‚¬ËœA Message To You Rudyâ‚¬, followed in September with their first album released soon after in October. This 40th Anniversary Edition of their debut album â‚¬ËœSpecialsâ‚¬ has been mastered and cut at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios using the original production tapes. This edition has been split across 2x 12â‚¬Â vinyl at 45rpm for optimum audio quality. The Specials recently celebrated a UK Number One with their new album â‚¬ËœEncoreâ‚¬ and are currently on a 40th Anniversary World Tour. Track List A Message To You Rudy / Do The Dog / Itâ‚¬s Up To You / Nite Klub / Doesnâ‚¬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 / Youâ‚¬re Wondering Now.
