Review - :
Who ever heard of a {$Specials} {^Greatest Hits} collection that didn't include {&"Concrete Jungle"} or {&"Rat Race"}? It's not like the music that is here isn't wonderful -- it is, and the choices made are righteous insofar as they go. The problem is that the missing cuts leave such a gaping hole. Other best-ofs -- including the one compiled by {@Disky} -- contain 15 tracks or more. Other tracks that could have been included here are {&"Guns of Navarone,"} {&"Nike Klub,"} and {&"Racist Friend."} As for what is here, you get the uptempo {\bluebeat} skankers like {&"A Message to You Rudy,"} {&"Ghost Town,"} {&"Man at C & A,"} {&"Rude Boys Outta Jail,"} {&"Simmer Down,"} and {&"Too Hot."} So this is an enjoyable spin, but there are way better collections out there. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
