With another new album from The Specials’ revived lineup being readied, it’s timely for Music On Vinyl to do their reliably professional job on a vinyl reissue of the most unusual album boasting the band’s name on the sleeve. Released in 1993, when the question of “Just who in The Specials is talking to each other today?” was complex enough to test even the intellect of Professor Brian Cox, the members with custody of the name that week – Lynval Golding, Neville Staple, Roddy Radiation and Horace Panter – joined Desmond Dekker for a covers album.
