Are several of these songs re-recorded versions ? I have a feeling they are .

Is this a Cleopatra special?

If so, this will be primarily covers and re-recordings...pass.

What a bizarre track listing. Level 42 and Go West considered as New Wave i think somebody has been smoking too much weed. It was the Fun Boy Three who did Our Lips Are Sealed not the Specials.

I would say the track on the comp listed by cork is from the above,which appears to be from 2000 sung by neville staples,i would have definite doubts that its the 1983 FB3 version thats on the comp listed by cork.it would appear that a few places on the net do refer to the track as being credited to the "The Specials",which would make it appeal more than just being credited to neville staples.As for the exact credit - well.......thats anyones guess.
