The Specials’ self-titled debut sparked the Two-Tone movement in the late ’70s. With well-chosen ska classics and Prince Buster-inspired originals, the band mixed political and social activism and blended punk’s intensity with an infectious dance beat. The Specials is a landmark recording that, while very much a product of its time, hasn’t really dated at all. Produced by Elvis Costello. [The album was reissued in 2002 with enhanced CD-Rom material.] – Chris Woodstra
