The Desolate Charm of The Specials' "Ghost Town" | The Spindle

from WASTOIDS · host WASTOIDS

In the late '70s, The Specials took the UK by storm with their hybrid of punk and reggae and an explicit anti-racist stance. A few years later, the band was coming apart—but not before they made an amazing final 7", the chart-topping, zeitgeist-capturing "Ghost Town." John and Marc dive into this great single on the latest episode of the Spindle.
