The Specials - ‘Protest Songs 1924-2012’ limited 180g transparent yellow coloured vinyl LP with download code and 12 page booklet.

The Specials emerged in the late 1970s as the multiracial flagship of the 2 Tone movement, and sang of racism, unemployment and injustice making a very clear political statement every time they stepped on stage. It’s fitting, then, that in 2021, at a time when the world is riven with social, racial and political unrest, that the Specials have made this album of Protest Songs and are once again reflecting the society we live in and taking a stand against all forms of injustice.

This coloured edition is exclusive to indie stores like us.
