The Specials Hits
‘The Best Of’ album is out on 31 March
The Specials CD/DVD 'Best Of' features all of the hits and videos from their first hit single 'Gangsters', 'Too Much Too Young' - a pro-contraception song which was banned by the BBC but still hit the no. 1 spot.
The compilation album also contains 'Ghost Town' - released amid race-related unemployment riots, to the latter singles of 'Racist Friend' and 'Free Nelson Mandela'.
The Specials formed in 1977 and was originally called the Coventry Automatics and later the Special A.K.A. by Jerry Dammers, with Terry Hall, Lynval Golding, Neville Staples, Roddy Radiation, Sir Horace Gentleman and John Bradbury.
Dammers started his own label, ‘2-Tone’ on which the Specials albums and singles were released it was named for its multiracial outlook and also after the two-tone suits worn by the rude-boys.
