True innovators of the punk era, The Specials began the British ska revival craze, combining the highly danceable ska and rocksteady beat with punk's energy and attitude, and taking on a more focused and informed political and social stance than their predecessors and peers.

By October 1981, constant touring and differences over musical direction saw the original band line-up split but they soon regrouped and reformed as The Special AKA and released their third album In the Studio in 1984.  The album was over two years in the making and featured hit singles "(Free) Nelson Mandela" and "Racist Friend".

Now remastered and reissued on heavyweight 180g black vinyl.
