Specials - The Specials
It's 1979 I am 16 going on 17, left school and am a scooter skin, which basically meant I rode a scooter (Lambretta SX 200) and had a skinhead.
I was into Ska in a big way, but old style skinhead Ska, The Pioneers, The Upsetters etc. Then something happened, we got British Ska, The Beat, Selector, Madness (early on) and the best of all, The Specials. I have two vinyl LP's left in my house, this one (very scratched) and one by a band called Back To The Planet. This LP rocked, it got played over and over from '79 to '81 (when The Jam took over for me).
~~~~~The Band~~~~~
The band themselves seemed to consist of hundreds of people, though in fact there were:
Jerry Dammers - Keyboards
Terry Hall - Vocals
Neville Staple - Vocals and percussion
Roddy radiation - Guitar
(Sir) Horace Gentleman - Bass ...
Advantages: inteligent varied original Disadvantages: their last record as a group
Some are born great,as the saying goes ,others have greatness
thrust upon them,and in the case of The Specials it seems not only did they achieve greatness with their debut album "Specials",but had even more greatness thrust upon them by an over expectant music press and ravenous fan base
all eager for more of their punk/ska riotous rapture ,however in
the spirit of true greatness and wanton defiance they delivered
"More Specials" in the autumn of 1980,and in direct conflict to its title could well have been called "Less Specials "
In the twelve months which had elapsed between their debut and this daring follow up the musical landscape had changed a great deal ,the fury of punk which gave rise to the groups foundations was now a fading memory as new sounds and movements splinterd into a varied buffet of sounds and movements ...
Advantages: Healthy and tasty Disadvantages: Expensive
Background:
We are always told these days breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so lately I had been making a conscious effort to start my day well. I think, as we all get older we become a bit more aware of our own mortality and start to think more healthily. So with that in mind I have started purchasing Special K, as I have seen the adverts and I would like to loose a little weight without having to seem like I?m on a diet.
About Kellogg?s:
I have known about the Kellogg Company since being a young boy. In those days you didn?t get shop?s own product like you do know you only got the original and genuine article. The company was founded in 1906 by Keith Kellogg with Corn Flakes being their first successful cereal that established the company.
Since then the company had gone from strength to strength ...
Formed in Coventry in 1977, The Coventry Automatics went on to become The Specials, one of the most influential British bands to emerge from the punk-era and talisman for the ska revival. This compilation of their best moments includes the spooky and atmospheric 'Ghost Town' and 'Concrete Jungle', a brooding portrayal of inner-city life. A DVD is included with a mixture of videos and live footage of the band throughout their illustrious time together, which included seven consecutive top 10 UK hits.
