I wonder if anyone could tell me what song the organ part around 3:02 is borrowed from? I remember playing GTA London when i was quite young and hearing a slower reggae song with that organ riff in it. Greatly appreciate anyone who gives me an answer!
Mainly a 60's early 70's rock man myself, I listen to quite a bit of Dub like King tubby though I suppose, but yeah I had a dream where I started listening to more Ska, and It was a good idea :)
Haha that's a long story and you probably won't believe but anyway, a very long time ago I registered to msn and I simply typed my name and familyname, however, this name was already in use so it popped up with just some random numbers. Back then i didn't know what it meant so I used it everytime i made an account and well xD
Anyway don't worry i'm not a huge supporter of a certain, small sized, Austrian, politician with a permanent dirty Sanchez :'D
Best band ever...The Specials are 'SPECIAL'...still can't believe it 30 years ago i first listened to to their 1st album,kindly given to me!!! Ska'd4 Life...
Brings back great memories, shining up the dm's, bottle of cheap cider and heading into the disco. If only i could go back to those days S P E C I A L memories. NOBODY HATES SPECIALS
@tom21068 ttally agree with you mate! I still shine up the Dms - not 'cos I'm a 'Skin' (whatever that means) but because a pair of gleaming Oxblood Dr. Martens are, quite frankly, among the greates footwear a man (or woman) will ever own. BUT ONLY IF YOU POLISH THEM. PROPERLY. WITH POLISH. NOT 'BURGUNDY'. OX BLOOD! More importantly: The Specials - great. The Pioneers - greater! No offence.

Hello all, i am deadrisingluke666, i changed account because i forgot password and had it connected to wrong email, so check out my channel in the next fue days from the same cd as this, i'll add this aswell. Thanks!
I just started listening to this band recently with t in the park cumin round (woohoo!). i knew the classics like ghost town and too much too young of coarse but i have to say im well impressed with back catalogue
You will have a great time at T in the park watching the mighty Specials, they cracked America and the far east and for me have influenced a generation. Went to see them for the first time in April as I was just too young in 1980 and was blown away. Have a great time mate , wish I could be there.
I agree with Mastercoc... ahem!! I think this song just gets better and better.. this time i wil thank you and wont say thanks to others for stopping on YOUR page.. I am orientated today and do realise this is NOT my page...thank you :)
Oh my god what planet am i on... that i dont even know when i am on my own page.... soreeeeee..but i am this guy appreciates you stopping by on his page ffs.. hehe :)
Sadly the factory that made alot of the DM's (Griggs in Shepton Mallet) has been flatted and replaced by a Tesco, just another part of this great country gone, more work gone and being badly made in some dodgy country...
i love this! Peel Sessions are awesome.
