The Specials - Are doing an 'Encore'

The Specials are back with a big UK tour

The Specials, one of the most electrifying, influential and important bands of all time, release 'Encore', their first new music for thirty seven years via UMC / Island Records. The album comes out on February 1st, 2019 and will mark the 40th anniversary of the formation of The Specials and the legendary Two-Tone label in Coventry in 1979, and also marks ten years since the band reformed to play some of the most vital and joyous live shows in recent memory.

The ten song 'Encore' was produced by Specials founding members Terry Hall, Lynval Golding and Horace Panter alongside Danish Musician / Producer Torp Larsen and indeed is the first time Hall, Golding and Panter have recorded new material together since the band’s 1981 No.1 single 'Ghost Town'.
