"No, this is not the original Specials line up.However, it is still a must have item for any fan of the Specials.The musicians on this cd are all from Long Beach,California.Neville Staple: lead vocals,Chris Clawson: drums,Chris Colonnier: trombone & vocals,Ed Kampwirth: bass & vocals,Travis Laws: guitar & vocals,Jesse Wilder: guitar & vocals,and Jane Wiedlin: special guest vocals on Our Lips Are Sealed.I have to say that I really like the album and its nice to hear the Special's old songs played again.The only tracks that I dont like are song #1 Our Lips Are Sealed with Jane Weidlin,song #14 Ghost Town {Chemical Submission Mix} & song #15 Our Lips Are Sealed {Zipper Mix}.The rest of the album is cool,& I don't regret buying it at all.Like I said before,this cd is a must have for any ska or reggae collection.The horns on this album are great & personally I think that Neville & the rest of these musicians do a great job covering the old hits.If you like ska,reggae,& the Specials then buy the cd for your collection.I am happy with the album & it was worth the money."

Don't waste your time or money

"First this is not the original line up,far from it.Second it has WAY more pressing's than 200 or 300 and it's not a offical release from the band.

I'm huge fan and I have one word for this.....CRAP!"
