The Specials: More Specials (2-Tone)
Lloyd Bradley, Q, July 1989
GIVEN THE QUANTITY of ska compilations on the market at the moment, it's a good time to revive the ska revival of 10 years ago. And The Specials are the natural starting point – their Gangsters single was the 2-Tone label's first release and first hit, promoting a minor Midlands youth cult into a nationally recognised "movement".
