THE SPECIALS "the specials" vinyl/cd 1979
a revisit...
UK social commentary/politically edged ska band...
debut album of nine and only one i own....
produced by Elvis Costello...
one of the greatest debut albums of all time IMO...
twelve tracks four or five are covers and another couple borrow (with acknowledgement) off a couple of other old reggae tunes...
excellent go-to album of enjoyment on a Sunday afternoon...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

random pick:
I'm going out tonight
I don't know if I'll be alright
Everyone wants to hurt me
Baby danger in the city
I have to carry a knife
Because there's people threatening my life
I can't dress just the way I want
I'm being chased by the National Front
Concrete jungle, animals are after me
Concrete jungle, it ain't safe on the streets
Concrete jungle, glad I got my mates with me
I won't fight for a cause
Don't want to change the law
Leave me alone, just leave me alone
I want to get out on my own
I'm walking home tonight
I only walk where there's lots of lights
In the alleys and the doorways
Some throw a bottle right in your face
Concrete jungle, animals are after me
Concrete jungle, it ain't safe on the streets
Concrete jungle, glad I got my mates with me
