I keep getting Facebook / Instagram messages to presale link and when I go there the offer is over.
But I can’t find any other info other than promoting next year’s tour.
Anyone know anything???????

Re: The Specials
Yeah it would've been nice if they had been included. I'm hoping for a bluray of the film with the soundtrack included. Doubt it'll happen though.101Walterton wrote: ↑11 Sep 2020, 8:13pmNo they are on they aren’t they?Marky Dread wrote: ↑11 Sep 2020, 8:10pmExtra Dance Craze tracks?

Re: The Specials
They have put a lot of time and money into this plus they have a habit of ‘extras’ once the main project is out, so I would not be surprised to see something else from this project??Marky Dread wrote: ↑11 Sep 2020, 8:17pmYeah it would've been nice if they had been included.

On another note I bought the reissued Absolute Beginners soundtrack on CD and that has Jerry's first solo track "Riot City" on it. A jazzy number which I like.

Re: The Specials
it still gives me a bit of a jolt when older threads get revived and his posts show up, like he's still there. That avatar of his pops still up on pages all the time.
The number and variety of his posts show how much he enjoyed this place. Good old Wally...

Don't know if there's a dedicated Two-Tone thread, but this is close enough: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/ ... f-two-tone
Can't help but think Wally would have booked a flight back to the UK for this.
