Track List: (Artwork Included)
01- Do the Dog
The band’s opening song sets forth their punk-ska fusion and anti-racist manifesto.
02- Dawning of a New Era
The Specials changed the face of music with the 2-Tone revolution, and on this song Terry Hall staked his claim as the voice of disaffected youth.
03- Gangsters
A homage to the ska great Prince Buster, this debut single put them on the map.
04- Rat Race
A sneering attack on the complacency and political posturing of affluent students.
05- Monkey Man
Dedicated "to all the bouncers", this is a storming version of Toots and the Maytals’ ska/reggae anthem.
06- Blank Expression
Hall's dissolute vocal reflects the vacant expressions of the people he meets on an edgy walk through Coventry.
07- Concrete Jungle
A chilling slice of social realism from Roddy Byers.
08- Friday Night, Saturday Morning
The false hopes of living for the weekend, working all week for it and staggering home disappointed.
09- A Message to You Rudy
Dandy Livingstone’s rocksteady favourite reaches a new audience, borne along on the fabulous interplay of trombone and trumpet.
10- Do Nothing
An achingly sweet melody listlessly recounts the gloom of the new Thatcher era.
11- Nite Klub
A sneering attack on scenesters, or whatever they were called back in 1979.
12- Too Much Too Young
Who could have predicted that you could top the charts with a vicious anthem about teenage pregnancies.
