City Rocker Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Thank you Bristol Rob, the 2 Tone era was the most exciting time ever to be a teenager, dressing up and going to gigs.

Lanterne Rouge Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 RadMac just reminded me it`s forty years since London Calling was released too. They were great times for music back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vespa Red Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 The Specials -what a great album. Gave me an early education in racial politics and also kick started my ongoing love affair with 60s/70s/80s Jamaican music. Thank you Jerry, Terry, Neville, Lynval, Horace, John (RIP), Roddy, Dick and Rico (RIP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Rocker Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Who knew that 40-odd years on we would need The Specials and their message of unity more than ever. Terry Hall says it best... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up with The Specials and don’t mind admitting they had a BIG impact on my future direction in life as the 80s were tough times during the recession etc. The Specials, Madness, The Selector IMO was a great era for music and the message behind the music defined my outlook on life and how I rebelled against the Thatcher era, Moynihan etc. That is a great video, thanks for posting @Bristol Rob.

And for a fella who has had significant battles with the bottle in his middle years. He sadly had to be banned from my favourite Herne Bay boozer, The Ship, at one time. The guy pulled himself out of that particular mire and fair do's to him for confronting that particular demon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought from Virgin in Broadmead in the first few days after it was released. We used to bunk off school and go down town on the bus to buy the latest releases by bands we liked, to help hype them into the charts or sometimes to make sure we got the limited edition coloured vinyl. This one went to number 1, so job done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
