## Description

The Specials - Specials (Vinyl) True innovators of the punk era, the Specials began the British ska revival craze, combining the highly danceable ska and rocksteady beat with punk's energy and attitude, and taking on a more focused and informed political and social stance than their predecessors and peers. Their agenda of racial harmony and social inclusion was pursued through their music, and came to be described as the Two Tone movement. Identified also by their distinctive look, the band wore mod-style 1960s period "rude boy" outfits (pork pie hats, tonic and mohair suits, and loafers) that were adopted by fans and musical followers alike. More Specials is the second album by ska band the Specials, released in October 1980. The album expanded the 2 tone sound of their self-titled debut to include lounge music and other influences. It featured collaborations with the Go-Go's members Belinda Carlisle, Charlotte Caffey, and Jane Wiedlin; Rhoda Dakar from The Bodysnatchers; and Lee Thompson from Madness. The lyrics, like the previous album, were often intensely political.

Great Ska. I don't think the cover is from the original LP. it just looks different than what I remember. But the sleeve doesn't really matter... I wanted the music. Excellent recording. I was happy with the price as well.

    Hosed Again

Why do these record companies put out remasters and then remove a song or two from them?  One has to wonder where Rat Race disappeared to?  It isn't on this cd anymore.  Oh, nevermind.  I found it on the Hits disc.  How Lame.  They did the same thing with the remaster of English Beat.  Don't buy this crappy version of this cd unless you either can't find the original issue or you absolutely have to have the video of Ghost Town (a pretty good vid) and Rat Race (a pretty crappy vid).

    Unique blend of ska, soul and kitsch
  

*by L***U on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 8, 2003*

More Specials is definately not for every ska fan.  In fact, this album is a mix match of so many different genres that I would not even call it a ska album.  Whereas The Specials first album gets you up off your rear end and dancing this is a more contemplative album to really listen to.  The album moves around from darker themes to the silly with an overriding feel of 60's kitsch.  Another 2Tone classic.
