Founded by Jerry Dammers, their fusion of punk, reggae, and ska created a new musical fashion—spearheaded by their own Two Tone record label—that stood for unity and racial harmony in a polarized society. This musical odyssey with The Specials moves from their early days on Coventry's punk circuit, to their chart-storming success with singles like Too Much Too Young and the eerily prescient Ghost Town, released as the race riots of 1982 saw Toxteth and Brixton go up in flames. Written with wry humor, this affectionate look at a band whose sublime music remains influential today is a must for all fans of The Specials. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Must read for every music fan and musician! Admiringly as a Ska fan and having my own band, this book was a no-brainer for me to read. I was pleased to find this book an enjoyable read that was hard to put down! Horace Panter, bassist for the Specials, is very candid and honest in his writings and recollections of the band's fast rise to stardom and rapid destruction. By the time I discovered Ska and the Specials here in America in 1980, the ride was all but over for them. This was a chance to follow their path from the start and get behind ... Read More Rating: - Ska'd for Life: A Personal Journey with The Specials A really Very enjoyable accounting that covers The Specials (and their Two-Tone label) from their early days in Coventry in the late 1970's to their early demise in the beginning of the 1980's. From "Gangsters" to "GhostTown", Horace relays his experiences and observations (some of the bands' dynamics and evolution, playing, recording and touring) with keen wit and the perspective of a person who was clearly a fan of the music (and music scene) first, who would soon become an integral part of an innovative ... Read More Rating: - Very good music autobiography While I was never abig fan of the Specials, I was still enough interested to buy this book and I am glad I did. This is one of the better rock biographies to have appeared lately. It is very different from the usual drivel about how many groupies and how much drugs they have done which seems to be atrend in recent music books. The Specials were one of the most important groups back in the early 80's in Britain. The degree of coverage and adulation they got in the rock press was very irritating and which more ... Read More Rating: - A must read A great book that charters the life and times of the Specials, probably one of the most influential bands of their time. No "I was there" No "I did this I did that" Just an honest straight forward account of what it was to be in the band through good times and bad. Though the book is detailed it reads almost like a reflective diary which I suppose in a way it is. For anyone who loved the Specials then it will bring back some memories, for anyone who has just found them now or just loves to read ... Read More Rating: - Excellent read! Excellent insider's look at The Specials & the 2-Tone movement. Very funny, and detailed view of how the band evolved, songs were written & recorded, & performed live. I especially enjoyed the U.S. Tour diary, and cool photos. see more Browse for similar items by category: Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - General AAS Subjects - Books - General AAS Arts & Literature - Biographies & Memoirs - Subjects - Books - General Arts & Literature - Biographies & Memoirs - Subjects - Books - General AAS Subjects - Books - General   Eating Lizards   by: Horace Panter   Related Items:      see more   Related Items: Ska Guitar Specials Ska Is Dead The Clash More Specials see more       As Tears Go By      Binding: Paperback Dewey Decimal Number: 782.4216460922 EAN: 9780330440738 ISBN: 033044073X Label: Macmillan UK Manufacturer: Macmillan UK Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 320 Publication Date: June 01, 2008 Publisher: Macmillan UK Studio: Macmillan UK Sales Rank: 283374   Franklin J.
