Description
Limited Clear vinyl version of the classic debut album by The Specials. The Specials are one of the defining bands of the late 70s/early 80s, alongside Jerry Dammers' iconic Two Tone Records. Originally formed in 1977 as The Coventry Automatics, The Specials blended Jamaican ska and rocksteady with the energy of punk, sparking the Ska Revival and helping like-minded bands such as Madness, The Beat, and The Selecter release their first singles.
The Specials' first single, Gangsters, was released in May 1979 with independent distribution by Rough Trade, and the initial pressing of just 5,000 records quickly sold out. The band and label soon signed with Chrysalis Records, who picked up on the release of Gangsters. The next single, A Message To You Rudy, followed in September, with their debut album released soon after in October.
