Responsive Jarilo Template   Our Shop Shop Categories Description The Specials – Specials, 1979 LP 2-Tone CDL TT5001. This is a decent example of the LP Specials by The Specials. It was released on the 2-Tone label in 1979 – CDL TT5001. The record is in VG+ condition with just a couple of small marks. And on side one there is some hiss / crackle in the run-in groove that just continues into the first three or four revolutions to produce handful of very quiet ‘ticks’. The cover grades as EX.

It is impossible to be an expert in all realms of collecting, and I am honestly representing this item to the best of my knowledge and ability. If the item has a fault then I have mentioned it. I ask that you read the description and examine the photos carefully. I also encourage you to ask any questions you may have during the auction to help clarify identification or condition, as I may inadvertently omit information that you as a collector feel is important.          

I am not able to provide scans of paper items and I have no facility to record / copy any records.

If you are thinking of bidding on more than one item please contact me for a quote as in many cases additional items can be posted very cheaply.

For example, because of the Royal Mail pricing bands, in the case of 7" singles there will be a small charge for a second one but third and fourth records can go for no extra money.
