Encore – Deluxe Edition Specials, The SKU: 7762588 Barcode: 00602577625886 35.00 £35.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: UMC Released Date: 19th July 2019 Buying Format: 2LP Coloured Vinyl Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info The Specials – one of the most electrifying, influential and important bands of all time – return with Encore, their first new album in 37 years to feature founding members Terry Hall, Lynval Golding and Horace Panter. This is the first time the line-up has recorded new material together since the band’s 1981 No. 1 single “Ghost Town.” In the current turbulent climate, Encore picks up almost exactly, in style and in substance, where “Ghost Town” left off, addressing serious issues head on. 2019 marks the 40th anniversary of the formation of The Specials and the legendary Two-Tone label in Coventry in 1979, and also marks 10 years since the band reformed to play some of the most vital and joyous live shows in recent memory. This deluxe colored vinyl 2LP edition includes Encore – which entered the U.K. album chart at No. 1 – as well as the bonus second LP, Best of The Specials Live featuring a selection of tracks recorded at The Bataclan in Paris in 2014 and London’s The Troxy in 2016.
