The Specials Ltd
The Specials formed in Coventry in 1977, fusing ska and rocksteady rhythms with punk's urgency to help define the 2 Tone movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Singles including 'Gangsters' and 'Ghost Town' reached number one on the UK charts, the latter capturing the unrest of British inner cities in 1981.

About The Specials Ltd
The band split soon after that peak but has reformed several times since, most substantially in 2008, continuing to draw on the same catalogue of ska and new wave songs built around tight horn arrangements and call-and-response vocals.
