The Specials: Specials versione su vinile LP in rimasterizzati edizione. Questa particolare edizione è stata pubblicata in Europa e Stati Uniti nella casa editrice Chrysalis in collaborazione con Two-Tone Records in data 1. dicembre 2017.

The Specials' self-titled debut album, "Specials," released in 1979, is a seminal work in the British ska revival movement. The album showcases the band's unique blend of punk energy and ska rhythms, which would come to define the 2 Tone genre. Among the tracks on this influential record are "Concrete Jungle," a song that delves into urban strife and disaffection, and "Monkey Man," a cover of the Toots and the Maytals classic that exemplifies the band's ability to reinterpret Jamaican music with a punk sensibility. "You're Wondering Now" ends the album on a reflective note, originally by Andy & Joey, it's known for its poignant lyrics and smooth melody. The hit single "Rat Race" critiques social climbing and the rat race of working life. The album also includes a medley featuring "Too Hot" and their iconic track "Gangsters," which became an anthem of the era. "A Message To You Rudy," another standout track, is a cover of Dandy Livingstone's rocksteady tune that underscores themes of unity and camaraderie. The energetic "Nite Klub" addresses disillusionment with nightlife culture, while "Too Much Too Young," one of their most famous songs, comments on teenage pregnancy and societal expectations. The Specials' debut album is not only a cornerstone of 2 Tone ska but also an enduring snapshot of late-1970s British youth culture.

Album comprende generi Rock, Reggae e Ska. 180g Remastered Vinyl.
