Specials
by The Specials
Price: $13.99
Customer Review:
The Specials may not have been the first band to combine the lopsided danceability and dreamy warmth of Jamaican music with the raw aggression of punk, but they did just about single-handedly define the look, sound, and feel of the second wave ska scene. They nailed the aesthetic, sporting very mod... more info

I Just Can't Stop It
by The English Beat
Price: $11.98
Customer Review:
Released in 1980, the English Beat's debut, I Just Can't Stop It, is their best album and a classic of the ska genre. Whether you have the 12 song version or the 14 song version that contains their awesome reading of The Miracles' "Tears of a Clown" and "Ranking Full Stop", you can't go wrong.... more info

The Singles Collection
by The Specials
Price: $14.98
Customer Review:
The Specials are the stuff of legend, that much can be agreed upon, but what is it about this collection that earns your hard-earned dollar? In a word, rarities. 'Rude Boys Out of Jail,' 'Guns of Navarone,' 'Maggie's Farm,' and 'Ghost Town' are classics worthy of inclusion on any ska collection, but... more info

Wha'ppen?
by The English Beat
Price: $9.98
Customer Review:
A wonderful followup to their first album, this one covers much wider range of styles. It can seem a disappointment when compared to their classic first album, but if you take it out of that context, it stands as a terrific album on its own. Each song has a totally different style to it. But why did... more info

Too Much Pressure
by The Selecter
Price: $19.98
Customer Review:
Maybe the greatest ska album ever: and you don't have to sacrifice your intellect. It's in turns fun, silly, irreverent, political, honest, raw, and the level of musicianship is very high (pun intended) with rich female vocals. A landmark. Get their next album: Celebrate the Bullet and also the... more info

Today's Specials
by The Specials
Customer Review:
With the guitarist Roddy Byers being one of the few remaining Specials, the band's old sound, like that of the 2-Tones, has now changed to a newer sound. Lack of musicians Terry Hall and Jerry Dammers make for a changed sound in the band, a new sound all-together. I tend to enjoy the new sound of... more info

More Specials
by The Specials
Price: $9.99
Customer Review:
With the release of their second album, the Specials proved definitively that they were more than a flash in the pan. This is an excelent follow-up, one continuing in the ska idiom with brilliant pop thrown in for good measure. The most rewarding aspect of this remastered edition, however, is the... more info
