Specials - Specials

It’s the run-up to Christmas 1979 and I’m going out with a girl called Kim. I remember trudging through the freezing slush, in that mid-winter Saturday afternoon half-light, to W.H. Smith in Canvey Island to buy this LP for a fiver for Kim’s Christmas present. She chucked me later that week and I kept the LP. Cool.

There’s really nothing I can tell you about this perfect LP (although, can we have a moment’s pause to reflect on Elvis Costello’s impeccable production?)

Instead I’ll tell you about my mate who started going out with his long-term girlfriend because he was a massive Specials fan and she looked like Terry Hall.
