More Specials (40th Anniversary Half-Speed Master)

The Specials are one of the most influential bands of the late 70s and early 80s, associated with Jerry Dammers' iconic Two Tone Records. Formed in 1977 as The Coventry Automatics, they blended Jamaican ska and Rocksteady with punk energy, sparking a ska revival and helping bands like Madness, The Beat, and The Selecter release their first singles. Their debut album 'Specials' in 1979 is a classic. By 1980, when they released 'More Specials', they'd hit number one in the UK with 'Too Much Too Young', completed sold - out UK tours and trips across the globe. This 40th Anniversary Edition of 'More Specials' was expertly mastered and cut at half - speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios using original tapes. It's split across 2x 12' vinyl at 45rpm for top - notch audio. There's also a bonus 7' single, half - speed cut, just like the 1980 initial release.

To use this product, simply place the 12' vinyl records on your turntable and set it to 45rpm. For the bonus 7' single, make sure your turntable has the appropriate setting. When handling the vinyl, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Store the records in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the records in their sleeves when not in use to protect them from dust and damage. If the records get dirty, you can use a soft, anti - static record brush to gently clean the surface.
