Great final album
I was led to this by the excellent 6 Music session shown on BBC 4 as part of a Terry Hall evening, during which the band performed 4 songs from the album. They are probably the best 4 but the rest is excellent too. Very much in the idiom of the Specials as a protest band back in their early heyday - Ghost Town of course, Too much too young, Concrete jungle, and many more. Better than Encore, I think. Sad that there will be no more, though Horace Panter did say they recorded 13 songs and only 12 are on the album.

Wow! what an album.
Wow, How did I miss this one when it was released. Thankfully I have been enlightened. A wonderful collection of covers of protest songs from one off the most gifted groups from the last 50 years. Terry Hall what a man, long may he live on in our memories. If you don't enjoy these tracks you must be dead from the neck up.

good cd worth a listen
hear some of these songs on bbc sessions. Some very good songs, and a couple, not as good, but still a half decent cd, band sound good.
