The Specials began the British ska revival craze, combining the highly danceable ska and rocksteady beat with punk's energy and attitude.

The Specials' landmark, 14-track-strong debut album The Specials (UK No.4, 1979), produced by Elvis Costello, declared their intentions loud and clear with a rare blend of furious energy and no-nonsense, hard-hitting lyrics.

In essence a studio recording of their live set, the album comprises mostly originals with a few covers of ska classics thrown in for good measure, including their fabulous take on Dandy Livingstone's "A Message to You Rudy", an equally stellar version of The Maytals' "Monkey Man", and a sizzling take on Prince Buster's "Too Hot".
