The Specials

Produced by Elvis Costello, this 1979 release captures the sweating atmosphere of the 2-Tone movement. The band merges classic Jamaican ska rhythms with sharp social commentary that remains relevant today.

Every track burns with an intense energy that acts as a link between the spirit of punk and the infectious grooves of reggae. It stands as a document of the band at their most immediate.
