 Rating: - Specials Kick Da BucketWhen The Specials hit the number one spot for the second time in their short career with `Ghost Town' no one realised it was to be their swan song but within two months Terry Hall, Neville Staples and Lynval Golding quit to form Fun Boy Three leaving Jerry Dammers, John Bradbury, Horace Panter and Roddy Radiation to continue without them. Reverting to the earlier name Special AKA their first project was to Back ex-Bodysnatchers Rhoda Dakar on her anti-rape song `The Boiler' which due to it's content was never going to sit easily at Radio One.

Dammers too was peddling the New Jazz movement with his re-vamped Special A.K.A . Hall, Staples and Golding were replaced with the always reliable Rhoda Dakar and a prissy soul singer named Stan Campbell. Jerry's new group were hard-Left and musically more progressive than their former incarnation. Despite the presence of top-ten single Nelson Mandella, In The Studio was deemed a disappointment upon it's release in '84. It has actually aged quite well. Dammers as usual was miles ahead with his use of lounge, afro-beat, northern soul and bohemian ... Read More: |
