The Specials

[Feek]

So I've been tidying up my iTunes library and I've got to the stage of dealing with single tracks.

I found a couple of Specials songs. And I played them. But it wasn't enough so I had to find a torrent for the first Specials album I owned, More Specials.

It's now playing and I'm sitting her with a huge grin on my face. This was my introduction to Ska/two tone music all those years ago, my feet are tapping to the music and I'm absolutely loving it.

This is what I was like back then...

Notice the boilier in there - which was banned!!

This is just the tip.. I have loads of imports, pictures disks, 12", EPs and LPs from the 60s from which this was all bassed on, including DD.

Did you like The Beat as well? I was a big fan when I was at school of them :)

[Admiral Huddy]

Yep have all singles and albums .. I think they only did one record on the two tone label. ###~##RanKin' Roj3Rrrr ###~###

My mum has some of them big black cds by the Specials... Nothing in the house to play them on though.

[Feek]

How much do you listen to them though, Huddy? It's been years since I listened to any Specials but it's all just flooded back.

[Justsomebloke]

I listen to my old Ska around twice a week. My reggae Dub & Lovers every day & War of the Worlds once every two weeks although I do play Autumn at least once a week.
I know I am not Huddy but I am in the mood to post :)

I've not got a Pork Pie btw, but I do have a Trilby!

When I was young I was far to good looking to wear a hat, specially with my blondy hair (Sun in ftw ;D)
These days I wear Stupid hats like my piss pot hat or my stalker hat worn only Flaps down :D
