  • Today's Specials is een muziekalbum uit 1996 waarop leden van de Britse skaband The Specials coverversies spelen van voornamelijk reggaeklassiekers. Daar het niet de originele Specials betreft spreken sommigen ook wel van een gelijknamig debuut. Alleen zangers Neville Staple en Lynval Golding, gitarist Roddy 'Radiation' Byers, bassist Horace Panter, en voormalig Selecter-drummer Charley 'Harrington' Bembridge hebben de essentiële periode (1979-1981) meegemaakt waarin de Specials via hun 2 Tone-label de ska-revival op gang brachten. Via een samenwerking met de Jamaicaanse zanger Desmond Dekker maakten ze midden jaren 90 een doorstart, en met de optredens nam ook de vraag naar nieuw materiaal toe. (nl)
