But I’m intrigued by the aluminium flight case.
Is it a previously-unheard-of ‘magic suitcase edition’ of Carbon Silicon back catalogue... or (since it’s partially obscured by the Strummer 001 box on top) a guilty pleasure - like a Kiss Kollection?!
Re: The Specials
All is revealed.... a very nice selection of Clash boots. In a nice desert-island/ emergency-room / easily-portable container.
And which ALSO matches a lot of my collection!
(rushes off to check for signs of a break-in and to check nothing is missing...)

Re: The Specials
I’m tempted to get a Madness one but have to finish the 2Tone collection firstMarky Dread wrote: ↑15 Feb 2019, 7:58amNice I saw those boxes being sold on ebay. Nearly bought a Clash one. So do you all the bands on Two-Tone or just The Specials. Friday Club/Costello etc etc.101Walterton wrote: ↑15 Feb 2019, 3:37amThat has my almost complete 2 Tone 7” singles collection, one left to go.Marky Dread wrote: ↑15 Feb 2019, 3:21amTotally shelfish!
Other than your Two-Tone box I've exactly the same stuff.
I collect them by catalogue # Just waiting on a delivery then I’ll show you
Re: The Specials
Nice selection, Wally! I see there are some of the "Satch's Forums" comps that snohy did, too. Good times.
Who pfaffed the pfaff? Who got pfaffed tonight?
Re: The Specials
Same here! Nice flight case for travelling? Top quality in any case.

Re: The Specials
Yep Snoh put out some brilliant compilations.
I remember there was one set he made I wished I got which was a reproduced Japanese Box set of (if I remember correctly) Bonds residency?
Re: The Specials
Yeah the Bonds box set was brilliant, a true labour of love. Don't know about the "Japanese" thing, I think Julie Jazz was responsible for the artwork.101Walterton wrote: ↑16 Feb 2019, 5:49pmYep Snoh put out some brilliant compilations.

I had to fetch mine from the customs and it looked so professional, they never realized it was a bootleg.

Re: The Specials
10 Commandments (of Saffiyah Khan).
Brilliant track in so many ways matched only by the inspiring backstory.
Whether this is the real Specials or not that track alone proves Encore is a Specials album and the Specials ideals (from Jerry) are all over this album.

I'm glad you like that track. It does feel like a distant cousin to the Boiler.101Walterton wrote: ↑16 Feb 2019, 6:51pm10 Commandments (of Saffiyah Khan).

Yes ties together Prince Busters original, The Boiler and Khan’s own story of today over a fantastic track.Marky Dread wrote: ↑16 Feb 2019, 8:33pmI'm glad you like that track.

I was always going to like this album but far exceeds my expectation. Gil mentioned the 2 ‘spoken’ tracks but both are delivered perfectly so don’t come across as narrated to me especially Black Lives Matter which is (as I hoped it would be) is Why part 2.
