Hello,
Has anyone heard this? Thoughts?
The Specials Protest Songs 1924-2012
Re: The Specials Protest Songs 1924-2012
I pre-ordered it back in August, but I've received a couple of emails saying the release was delayed until 10/1/21. Haven't seen any shipping updates as of today.
**Edited for an update***
My credit card was charged for the order today, so it must be preparing to ship.

Re: The Specials Protest Songs 1924-2012
I've always loved Zappa's 'Trouble (Coming) Every Day,' even if I could never work out if it was tongue in cheek or genuinely sincere - it's the most un-Zappa-like song he ever released. But it certainly works as a straight protest song, with some great lyrics.

Thanks Weller 259 for sharing.
I've got the album on order. Two different colored vinyls.
Although I wish they had recorded some new material. I love how it's winding up people who think The Specials were just a Ska band.
