Reviews
Real early skinhead reggae sound of all the classic Specials songs. Sounds sound very complete/well recorded for demos. Highly recommended.
I don't know what's up with provenance of this pressing (Discogs entry says it's an unofficial bootleg).
BUT, my copy sounds excellent. I might venture to say it sounds authentically analog to my ears.
Don't confuse this with me saying that the source material itself was a high-quality recording. It is band-demo quality, and I think most of it is mono. But the pressing, mastering, etc are really letting the source material shine through.referencing Dawning Of A New Era (LP, Album) RRLP 178
