Not only have The Specials reunited for a short 2009 reunion tour, but The Sunday Times (UK paper) has offered a complimentary CD of live recordings from their recent show at the Brixton Academy. Their first, self titled, LP sits on my shelf as one of my favorite albums of all time and are still considered as one of the heavyweights from the late 70’s punk movement. Although not available for proper purchase, I’ve seen this live edition on ebay for cheap. If this is your first time to become acquainted with these guys, their vinyl is still available for purchase and is a must have for, well, anyone.
The Specials – Friday Night, Saturday Morning
