The first three original studio albums from the legendary British 2-Tone ska act The Specials — 1979's "The Specials", 1980's "More Specials" and 1984's "In The Studio", the latter of which was released under the band's original name, The Special AKA — will be reissued via 2 Tone Records/Warners Catalogue on March 30th in expanded 2CD sets featuring non-album singles, live material, instrumentals and Peel sessions.
"The Specials" peaked at #4 in the UK albums chart and #84 in the Billboard 200 chart, and spawned two singles - "A Message To You, Rudy" (UK#10) and "Too Much Too Young" (UK#1).
"More Specials" made it to #5 in the UK and #98 in the US, and also gave us two singles - "Stereotype" (UK#6) and "Do Nothing" (UK#4).
"In The Studio" did it far less successful only reaching #34 in the UK albums chart. Four singles were taken off it - "War Crimes", "Racist Friend" (UK#60), "Free Nelson Mandela" (UK#9) and "What I Like Most About You Is Your Girlfriend" (UK#51).
