Line up:
Jerry Dammers - keyboards,
Terry Hall - vocals,
Lynval Golding - guitar , vocals,
Roddy 'Radiation' Byers - guitar,
'Sir' Horace Gentleman/ Panter - bass,
Silverton Hutchinson - drums
Neville Staples appears on the cover but at the time the recording was made he was still the roadie.
This is a 1978 demo (good sound quality) by the band that went on to become The Specials/ The Special AKA. Familiar tunes, slightly unfamiliar arrangements. An interesting listen for all those who have fond memories of this, the thinking man’s ska band.
