About: More Specials

An Entity of Type: album, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

More Specials is the second album by English ska band the Specials, released by 2 Tone Records in September 1980. After the success of the band's self-titled debut, band member Jerry Dammers assumed the role as the band's leader and stirred them into expanding their 2 Tone sound into other genres of music, most prominently a lounge music and easy listening style inspired by Muzak. Several band members disagreed with Dammers' vision and brought their own influences to the album, including from northern soul and rockabilly, contributing to an eclectic sound palette. The relations between band members continued to sour into the album's accompanying tour and most of the band departed in 1981.

  • More Specials is the second album by English ska band the Specials, released by 2 Tone Records in September 1980. After the success of the band's self-titled debut, band member Jerry Dammers assumed the role as the band's leader and stirred them into expanding their 2 Tone sound into other genres of music, most prominently a lounge music and easy listening style inspired by Muzak. Several band members disagreed with Dammers' vision and brought their own influences to the album, including from northern soul and rockabilly, contributing to an eclectic sound palette. The relations between band members continued to sour into the album's accompanying tour and most of the band departed in 1981. The album features collaborations with the Go-Go's members Belinda Carlisle, Charlotte Caffey, and Jane Wiedlin; Rhoda Dakar from the Bodysnatchers; and Lee Thompson from Madness. The lyrics on the album, as with the band's debut album, are often intensely political. Upon its release, the album alienated some fans, but reached number 5 in the UK Albums Chart, while its singles reached the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart. The album also reached number 98 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Critics greeted the album with praise, where journalists felt the album marked a bold step for the band. It has been since cited as an influence on the trip hop genre in the 1990s, and has been re-released several times. (en)

  • More Specials – drugi album brytyjskiego zespołu ska The Specials. Został wydany we wrześniu 1980 roku we własnej wytwórni zespołu 2 Tone Records. Producentami płyty byli Dave Jordan i Jerry Dammers (z wyjątkiem "Sock It To 'Em J.B." - John Bradbury). Album zajął 5 miejsce na brytyjskiej liście przebojów. Współkompozytorem utworu "Hey, Little Rich Girl" był znany z zespołu Madness Lee (Kix) Thompson (grał również w tym utworze na saksofonie). W wersjach: kanadyjskiej, amerykańskiej (obie z 1980 roku) oraz japońskiej (CD z 2009 roku) dodano utwór "Rat Race". Wersja japońska posiada alternatywną okładkę (zdjęcie tej samej sesji fotograficznej co podstawowa okładka). Do wersji CD z 2002 roku dodano teledyski do utworów "Ghost Town" i "Rat Race". Do pierwszych egzemplarzy albumu dodawano darmowy singiel 7" z utworami "Braggin' & Tryin' Not To Lie" oraz "Rude Boys Outa Jail (version)". (pl)
  • More Specials är ett musikalbum av den engelska skagruppen The Specials. Det utkom 1980 på skivbolaget 2 Tone. Precis som på gruppens debutalbum inleder gruppen albumet med en cover. Största skillnaden från första albumet är att låtarna här är lugnare, albumet har inte ett lika vilt sound. (sv)
  • More Specials é o segundo álbum de estúdio da banda britânica de ska The Specials, lançado em 1980. Nesse trabalho, a banda adota um som totalmente diferente do primeiro disco, por isso, não foi muito bem aceito pelo público e crítica. Porém, incorporou elementos novos para a época, como a música lounge, bem como outras influências. (pt)

  • "The ideas and the vision that we’d had the year previously had dissipated. Jerry didn’t have the songs, Roddy was coming up with all these punk/power pop songs that just weren’t going to work and he was pulling his face about ‘what’s wrong with my songs?’ and everybody was tired and just becoming fractious."
