As you all might know, Lynval lives up here and he was at a dinner party that two of my bandmates went to. He played some of the album for them and answered questions and was, by all accounts, a "top bloke."

Re: The Specials
I do like it and the lyrics are great but it's a bit understated for a comeback tune. I'm hoping for something a bit livelier from the new album.101Walterton wrote: ↑08 Jan 2019, 3:08pm

Re: The Specials
I agree mate. I think it's a good track and sounds more like an album track than a single. Just happy that it's not a let down considering some of the stuff released under The Specials name in the past.Heston wrote: ↑08 Jan 2019, 9:14pmI do like it and the lyrics are great but it's a bit understated for a comeback tune.

Re: The Specials
Had to order the vinyl from Amazon in the end as couldn't find a local retailer that is stocking it. Apparently not listed on local record company's release schedule

Re: The Specials
This is going to be a Special week!!!
Feel like I did as a teenager waiting to hear the new Specials single in the shop on Thursday afternoons.
Apart from the single have avoided all other tracks, waiting to get my hands on the vinyl!!
