| Quote: |
| A perfect moment in time captured on vinyl forever, such is the Specials' eponymous debut album; it arrived in shops in the middle of October 1979 and soared into the U.K. Top Five. It was an utter revelation--except for anyone who had seen the band on-stage... |

Ska's not my thing... but I'll support it so others can enjoy it.
