The Specials – Ghost Town / Why? / Friday Night, Saturday Morning

Very good quality Reissue, sound really good !
...Ghost Town is a great classic Two Tone's tune with trombone part by Dick Cuthell on trumpet

Half-Speed Mastered at Abbey Road Studios

Everyone knows this is one of the greatest singles ever released. Not just us but everyone involved with every inch and element in the 21st century manufacture of this product. Understandably! They're handling significant popular culture history. You can feel the love.
But hey, wait a minute!!...

If the industry can do it for THIS record then there shouldn't be any excuses for anyone else to not do the same with EVERY record. This ramping up of quality manufacture shouldn't be unique to certain releases. It's about simply putting in time, effort and care into making and handling a product without damage, without a blemish, that works and sounds great straight out from the inner sleeve (like....and this is NOT rose-coloured spectacles I'm wearing...in the good old days!!). When they want to, when they feel the need to, they CAN do it.

Sounds fantastic! Great pressing, and the extended "Ghost Town" is well worth having,

Great sound. Quiet, clean vinyl. Great sounding pressing. A quality re-issue.

A very worthwhile reissue...quality sleeve reproduction with an OBI, the vinyl is without a single pop or click across both sides and the sound is vibrant and pressing...one of Miles' better recent mastering efforts! Get this before it's OOP.

I lost the original 12" back in the 90s during a move. Was looking for a nice playing copy and didn't find one at an affordable price. Found this amazing RM'ed one for a great reduced price, so very happy now!

Sounds amazing. I end up throwing this on very often since buying it.

The music, of course, is first class. I've loved this song since seeing the video at 10 years old. I have it on a knackered 7" that I got from a record fair for 50p years ago so was pleased to see this re-release. The mastering and pressing quality are absolutely first class - it sounds beautiful and clear just as it should. The sleeve is beautiful made too. Great!

Let's face it, we all know the tune, we all love the tune. 'Timeless' and 'Classic' couldn't be more aptly applied than to 'Ghost Town' by The Specials, that so neatly summed up Thatcher's Britain from where it came. What I'd like to bring to attention here though, is the absolute quality of this reissue. There's a heavy gloss lamination to the front, with matt lamination on the reverse, together with OBI strip. The record itself is a heavy 180gm pressing, absolutely flat, and sounds superb. This is an absolute quality release.
