The Specials - Stereotype - TROS TOP 50 - (1980) • TopPop
The Specials, also known as The Special AKA, are an English 2 Tone and ska revival band formed in 1977 in Coventry. After some early changes, the first stable lineup of the group consisted of Terry Hall and Neville Staple on vocals, Lynval Golding and Roddy Radiation on guitars, Horace Panter on bass, Jerry Dammers on keyboards, John Bradbury on drums, and Dick Cuthell and Rico Rodriguez on horns. Their music combines a “danceable ska and rocksteady beat with punk’s energy and attitude“.
The band wore mod-style “1960s period rude boy outfits (pork pie hats, tonic and mohair suits and loafers). In 1980, the song “Too Much Too Young“, the lead track on their The Special AKA Live! EP, reached No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart. In 1981, the recession-themed single “Ghost Town“ also hit No. 1 in the UK.
’Stereotype is their 5th single. It reached no 6 in the UK and no 41 in the Dutch charts.
This unique video was broadcast by Dutch tv program TROS Top 50, episode no 89, on November 17, 1970.
