The Specials / Protest Songs 1924-2012 – signed vinyl
New album on the way

The Specials will release a new album next month called Protest Songs 1924-2012, and fans can secure an exclusive signed copy of the vinyl via Amazon in the UK. (now sold out).
The new album follows the band’s chart topping Encore from 2019 and features “twelve singular takes on specially chosen protest songs” across an almost 90-year span.
There is a deluxe CD edition, although it doesn’t have any bonus tracks but comes in a gatefold card presentation rather than the standard CD’s jewel case. Rough Trade in the UK are also offering a yellow vinyl edition.
Protest Songs 1924-2012 is out on 1 October 2021 (was 24 September).
