This is not the first Specials collection to hit the CD racks, and it may not be the last--but a cursory glance at the tracklisting, as well as the added DVD, make this an attractive package. It’s a little surprising not to see their cover of Monkey Man, but for sheer value you can’t go wrong with the rest of what’s on here. Their unique take on ska and a foray into what sort of resembled lounge were such refreshing, bold moves for the time. Great stuff!
