The
Specials, one of the most electrifying, influential and important bands
of all time, release 'Encore', their first new music for 37 years on
Fri 1 Feb. 2019 marks the 40th anniversary of the formation of The
Specials and the legendary Two-Tone label in Coventry in 1979, and also
marks 10 years since the band reformed to play some of the most vital
and joyous live shows in recent memory.
The 10-song 'Encore' was
produced by Specials founding members Terry Hall, Lynval Golding and
Horace Panter alongside Danish musician/producer Torp Larsen and indeed
is the first time Hall, Golding & Panter have recorded new material
together since the band’s 1981 No.1 single 'Ghost Town'.
