5.0 out of 5 stars Another Specials classic, September 22, 2007
By 
This review is from: Skinhead Girl (Audio CD)
The Specials back together recording some timeless Ska classics. All of them come from ska bands that today are probably little known. The Specials have always recorded covers of classic Ska tracks (Skinhead Moonstomp, A message to you etc....) and this follows on the traditon.

Buy this, you will not regret it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Whose Specials are these?, August 1, 2009
This review is from: Skinhead Girl (Audio CD)
Whose Specials?

Not Terry Hall (the original singer.) You won't find him here. Nore Jerry Dammers (the keyboardist mastermind for the original awesome group). No this is a very loose quasi-legal interpretation of the Specials. Some band-member's lawyer won - so this CD exists. Doesn't mean you need to buy it.

Could this Cd have value? Perhaps, but branding is everything. This CD may be many things, it may even have appeal for some, but to call it "The Specials" is greedy. 'Cuz it just ain't so.
