One of those bands that for me just seem to sound better with age. I've always loved debut album and had it in my 'top 10' but recently I've been listening to More Specials and it sounds better than ever.

I have to admit, my love of the debut makes me forget they have other recordings (of course, I don't count the "post-reunion" stuff, it's not very good). Every now and then I rediscover More Specials as well. The original is a stone classic and almost any record is going to suffer in comparison, but More Specials is still pretty damn good.

I love the whole late 70´s early 80´s Coventry music scene... I saw The Specials, The Selecter and The Beat at a couple of Rock against racism gigs back in "the good old days", they all used to get the whole place "bouncing".

What does Jerry Dammers do these days?
The root of all faults, all failings, is nothing other than ignorance. This ignorance is like mistaking a heap of stones on the horizon for a human figure; it has no basis whatsoever, which means that even the source of of these faults and failings does not exist.

All three albums are great "In The Studio" is a classic also.
