Um, actually, it is a well known fact that The Specials mixed punk with ska. Watch or read anything on the history of 2Tone. It's mentioned repeatedly. They dug Terry Hall out of a punk band called Squad, for crying out loud. It was never "just ska" with The Specials. It was punk, ska, reggae, Jamaican blues, muzak, African drumming, etc. And this song is definitely a fusion of punk and ska.

One of these days, unity will be the only option. Today, it is the last option.

@JohnnyLovely2 i know thats not the UK version, it had the same songs as our US version. its some sort of compilation i bet. in the back of Willo's book he has all of the records ever released on 2 Tone. i bet thats listed there, unless Chrysalis released it

May I recommend the book 'An Essential Guide To Music In The 1970s' by Johnny Zero. The author is a big fan of this track.

This song always reminds me of The Damned
-
@dkgdbr I'm not too sure about Roddy's either. The first thing that springs to mind when it comes to him is the rockabilly group he's had for years.
-
@moonshiny74 totally. also, Terry and Roddy were both in punk bands before the specials. Terry's band was called the Squad. not sure about Roddy's
